per Megan:
A week ago at Iowa, he converted a third-and-10 for 20 yards on a drive that resulted in a missed field goal. He caught a 29-yarder that helped set up a field goal and made a second-down catch that led to the Gophers’ final touchdown.
“We saw the talent right from the very beginning when he got here. But I think he just needed to realize that he had that type of talent and that ability,” offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca said. “And he’s now done it in a number of different times where he’s made critical plays for us in critical situations.”
As a returner, Douglas has experienced his share of fluky plays such as muffed punts this year and has yet to replicate his punt return touchdown from Wisconsin last season. He said he senses a big moment like that on the horizon.
“Demetrius, really, he helps me sleep at night,” Ciarrocca said. “… He’s a guy that could step into a major role at any point if somebody went down or something like that. But I think the best is yet to come with Demetrius.”
