Gopher Football Position Preview: Quarterbacks

The most anticipated battle on the Gopher football team will be for the starting quarterback job. With redshirt sophomore Demry Croft and fifth-year senior Conor Rhoda in a competition for the starting duties, the Gophers will have a new sheriff in charge this fall. With offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca’s offense being installed, it's the perfect time to make a change. Ciarrocca is an offensive mastermind, and after seeing him work with the quarterbacks throughout spring ball, it was apparent how much their fundamentals evolved. It is going to be very exciting to see his high-powered offensive philosophy transition to the Big Ten.
