Gophers' Jonah Pirsig shows his stamina, versatility

DETROIT -- Jonah Pirsig's back-and-forth season will continue in Monday's Quick Lane Bowl against Central Michigan. The junior offensive tackle has moved from the right side to left and back to right this season.

Gophers coach Tracy Claeys is just satisfied Pirsig remained on the field for all 12 games. Pirsig was the only offensive lineman to start each regular-season game, and he could move back to the left side against the Chippewas.

"We got to find more of them that are bell cows like that and can make it the whole (season)," Claeys said.
