per Phil:
College football’s most experienced offensive line is really, really good. Whereas last year, Ibrahim had to do a lot of the work himself, Thursday he had ample cutback lanes akin to the ones Minnesota consistently paved in 2019. Before his exit, Ibrahim carried 30 times for 163 yards.
Backups Treyson Potts and Bryce Williams showed some pop, as well.
And how about quarterback Tanner Morgan? Against one of the Big Ten’s best secondaries, the young man hoping to honor the memory of his father — who died of cancer during the offseason — strung passes into tight windows. He also showed why he’s one of the country’s smartest guys at the position, baiting Ohio State into a couple of pass interference penalties on downfield throws.
Also, if you hadn’t heard of Dylan Wright before Thursday, that’s OK. He didn’t record a stat at Texas A&M before transferring to Minnesota.

With or without its stars, Minnesota is a much improved football team in 2021
There are no moral victories, but the Golden Gophers showed a home stadium full of folks some serious signs of life in their 45-31 loss to Ohio State.
