per Joe:
To understand Murray’s impact on the Gophers, as he heads into his final college game Monday against Central Michigan in the Quick Lane Bowl, one must dig deeper.
It’s hard putting up traditional pass defense numbers when quarterbacks are trained to avoid you. So the Gophers coaches studied the film again recently, and here’s what they found:
• In six games this year, Murray was targeted two or fewer times.
• Only 12 percent of the pass plays against the Gophers — 49 of 401 — went Murray’s direction.
• The longest play he’s given up all year was 44 yards.
