Though former running mate DeLeon Eskridge has decided to transfer to San Jose State, Minnesota's Duane Bennett doesn't expect to automatically nab all of his former teammate's carries, saying he'll take on any role the new staff deems best for the squad.
Bennett is saying all the right things, though he will likely serve as the team's #1 back. With MarQueis Gray making such an impact on Jerry Kill (who knows how to coach) we could see the Gophers emerge as a pretty decent offense against the right opponents, and Bennett breaking out on occasion.
