Minnesota Gophers

Minnesota to use RBBC?

August 28, 2012

Are the Golden Gophers going to use the committee approach with their running backs?  Donnell Kirkwood seems to think so saying that they have taken that approach in practice.  Head coach Jerry Kill added "There are some combinations that we'll use."

It sounds like Kirkwood is a little optimistic but regardless, unless James Gillum is getting the bulk of the carries, the Minnesota backfield should be avoided.
