Injuries, offseason surgeries, and transfers had the Gophers’ coaching staff in a tricky position during spring ball. 7-on-7 was the new craze as head coach P.J. Fleck and his staff improvised to accommodate the loss of three offensive linemen.
The Gophers consistently practiced with four offensive linemen, drastically limiting the amount of team drills they ran. However, extensive credit goes to new offensive line coach Ed Warinner for his improvisation skills. He found ways to push the offensive line group and heavily emphasized individual skill work.
