MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Minnesota Gophers coach Jerry Kill opened uncertainty at quarterback when he pulled junior Mitch Leidner in the second half of last week's 27-0 loss at Northwestern.

As Minnesota (3-2, 0-1 Big Ten) prepares for an important game at Purdue on Saturday, Kill is keeping his decision on his starter private.

Kill declined to say if Leidner or freshman Demry Croft would start this week, though Leidner was one of three players to speak with the media following Kill's weekly news conference.
