Per Randy:
The Gophers football team is in its second week of training camp, and to coach P.J. Fleck, that means the Aug. 29 season opener against North Carolina at Huntington Bank Stadium is approaching in a hurry. While Fleck has a good picture of what the starting portion of his team’s depth chart could look like, the second- and third-string roles still need to be worked out.
With that in mind, Fleck and his staff spent a large portion of Tuesday’s practice at the stadium taking a long look at backups. Roughly 10 players who’ll likely play key roles — including quarterback Max Brosmer, wide receiver Daniel Jackson and running back Darius Taylor — either did not practice or were limited to a few repetitions in 11-on-11 situations.
“People are fighting for jobs in Week 2,” Fleck said. “I need to be able to answer questions by the end of Week 2, in the middle of Week 3, on the depth chart and what we’re going to do and how we’re going to do it, and what the answers are if and when something happens to somebody.”

P.J. Fleck studies Gophers’ depth, nears decisions on key depth roles
Quarterback Max Brosmer, running back Darius Taylor and wide receiver Daniel Jackson were among those who had light duty Tuesday, giving backups more reps.
