This is a shocking development for Minnesota, even if Kaliakmanis’s first season as the full-time starter didn’t live up to expectations. In 12 games this season, he completed 53.1 percent of his passes and threw for 1,838 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and nine interceptions.

The departure of Kaliakmanis leaves the Gophers’ quarterback room in chaos.
