per Phil:
Even before all this madness, the man they call “Mo” in Dinkytown knew what was coming.
Gone was a deep stable of running backs — a fixture of Minnesota football spanning decades and coaching eras. In its place was Mohamed Ibrahim, the lead thoroughbred, and a bunch of colts.
“I definitely have to step up now,” Ibrahim said back before the season. “Now it’s on my plate.”
Now, we’re one week into Big Ten football during the COVID-19 era. The Gophers are 0-1 after a blowout loss against Michigan. They’re missing 2 starting offensive linemen. They’re down to second- and third-string kickers and punters. And they’re fielding a defense with 7 new starters that looked like maybe even more of a rebuilding project than anticipated against the Wolverines.
No disrespect to quarterback Tanner Morgan or Rashod Bateman, but Ibrahim might now be the team’s most important player.

Why running back Mohamed Ibrahim may be Minnesota's most important player at present
Mohamed Ibrahim needs to carry most of the load at RB for Minnesota right now, while also teaching the next generation of Gophers backs how to do things the Minnesota way. The position group is in good hands.
