And we get to game 5 of participation for the Gopher freshmen. This is when things get interesting. Ok, so probably only a little bit interesting. After last season where a number of true freshmen were heavily relied upon, we are really looking at the long snapper, kicker and a couple reserve defensive players.
First off we have the announcement that Donald Willis is going to participate in one more game (his 4th) before he is going to be shut down for the year so that he can retain his redshirt.
Also interesting that in the final couple series against Illinois the Gophers didn’t choose to put one of their freshman quarterbacks into the game.
