Gophers coach Jerry Kill took the blame Tuesday for not moving right tackle Jonah Pirsig to left tackle sooner in Thursday's 23-17 loss to Texas Christian.
"That was too late," Kill said. "Made a critical mistake by not getting that done. ... I blame us (coaches). I blame me."
Pirsig helped shore up quarterback Mitch Leidner's blindspot for the final three quarters against the No. 2-ranked Horned Frogs and could remain at that critical spot for Saturday's game against Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colo.
"There's a possibility that we'll probably right now play Jonah at left tackle," Kill said.
