For Minnesota fans, there is no need to worry as MarQueis Gray is firmly entrenched as a quarterback for the Golden Gophers.  However, fellow quarterback J.D Pride is being moved to slot receiver.  Offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover explained that Pride would be buried on the depth chart at quarterback while there is a serious need at receiver.  "It doesn't make sense to stand as a 4 or 5 at one spot when we barely have 2's at another", said Limegrover.

Pride is a talented athlete and will make much more of an impact receiving passes than throwing them.
