per Randy:
When the Gophers visit Northwestern on Saturday, it’ll be a Chicago homecoming for several members of the team. Coach P.J. Fleck is from the western suburb of Sugar Grove; the Huff brothers, safety Jacob and linebacker Julian, are from Bolingbrook; and cornerback Antonio Shenault is from Roselle, just to name a few.
But the trip to Chicago might mean the most to Steven Richardson, the senior defensive tackle who is winding up a productive career as a four-year starter while toiling in the trenches.
“I know he’s excited to get back to Chicago to play in this game,” Fleck said. “And I know that everybody wants to do it for Steven.”
Richardson, a soft-spoken 6-0, 292-pounder, expects a good turnout of family, friends and “even past teachers all the way from elementary school” at Ryan Field in Evanston. Though it’s his final collegiate game in the Chicago area, he’s here for business.
“I’m just focusing on finishing up these last games strong,” the former Mount Carmel High School standout said.
