Minnesota's freshmen on offense have been putting up numbers.
You have probably heard by now that Minnesota is one of the youngest teams in the nation. But these young guys – particularly the freshmen on offense – are producing.
Minnesota has combined for 2,135 passing, rushing and receiving yards and 1,558 - or 72 percent - have been produced by freshmen. The Gophers have passed for 748 yards and 741 (99%) have come from the arm of a freshman.
The Maroon and Gold have rushed for 639 yards and 427 (66%) of those hard-earned yards were churned out by the legs of freshmen. Minnesota has 748 receiving yards and 390 (52%) are the result of a freshman catching the ball.
They may be young, but they are putting up numbers.
