Gophers football: How will the U’s remade offense look in 2023?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:35:56 GMT

The Gophers football program is trying to redefine the concept of offensive balance.Instead of the classic metric of weighing the amount of running plays against passing plays, head coach P.J. Fleck and new co-offensive coordinators Matt Simon and Greg Harbaugh are striving for an equilibrium in getting their playmakers the ball.Across Fleck’s tenure, Minnesota has run the ball on at least 60 percent of offensive plays in each of the six seasons, including a high of 70 percent in 2021 and 67 percent last year.A strong ground game will remain the bedrock of Fleck’s style going into 2023, and it had outgoing All-American tailback Mo Ibrahim quipping that “RTB” should stand for “Run The Ball” in addition to the program’s mantra of “Row The Boat.”But Ibrahim’s impending departure to the NFL leaves an unproven stable of running backs, strong-armed quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis taking over full time for veteran Tanner Morgan and what might be the deepest group of pass-catchers since...

The amendment proposes that a governmental entity, which includes a city, may not issue a permit for such a show that wouldn’t comply with new restrictions. “We are failing as lawmakers … if I am not putting something like this forward,” he said in a recorded interview released Wednesday. “It’s not an attack on a particul...
