Gophers football: Chris Streveler shows off versatility in scrimmage

Two weeks before the Sept. 3 season opener against Texas Christian, Gophers football coach Jerry Kill finally got to see his players performing in a scrimmage Thursday night under the bright lights at TCF Bank Stadium.

Kill came away impressed with some newcomers, but a returning player in a new role stole the show.

Backup quarterback Chris Streveler proved how valuable he might be this season if he plays a different position.

"He's just competitive," Kill said. "Somebody looked and said he's like a Tim Tebow-type guy. He's lined up at tight end. He's lined up at H-back.
