Per Randy:

The question came to Chris Autman-Bell in the form of a statement.

"Seven years is a long time," the reporter said.

"Ohhh, yeah," Autman-Bell said with a smile. "Ohhh, yeah."


The effervescent Gophers wide receiver — now 24 and in his seventh year at Minnesota — represented the program during Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis in July. He was equal parts friendly, fun-loving, thoughtful and steadfastly supportive of coach P.J. Fleck during a 45-minute interview session. His emphasis, though, was completing the comeback from a knee injury that ended his 2022 season in the third game and delayed his chance to chase an NFL career.

"This is my last year. I can't do an eighth or a ninth," Autman-Bell said. "College is done with me, and I'm done with college after this."


Go Gophers!!
 








To me he will always be the guy who saved the 2019 season with the late TD catch against Fresno State.
Tanner gets some credit there too.
Possibly the most significant pitch and catch in the modern era of Gopher FB. A loss in that game may have completely changed the course of the season, that play changed it all.
