per Joe:
P.J. Fleck wants his first spring game with the Gophers to be a fun experience for fans Saturday, but the new coach hopes everyone understands the adjusted format.
As Fleck has noted, the Gophers have 22 players recovering from surgery. At times this spring, they've had only four healthy offensive linemen at practice, limiting their 11-on-11 drills.
They were back to five healthy linemen Tuesday, but they'll have to get through Thursday's practice before they'll know how much full-speed scrimmaging they can do Saturday.
"It's going to be a little bit of a different spring game," Fleck said Wednesday. "It's going to be a game within a bunch of drills."
With free admission for the event at TCF Bank Stadium, Fleck plans to play four 15-minute quarters with running time. The clock will keep ticking, even when the Gophers are doing drills.
