MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Passing has been a work in progress for Minnesota for a while.
The offense's imbalance has proven to be problematic at times, and junior quarterback Mitch Leidner has just a 52.4 percent completion rate for his career.
The Golden Gophers were 12th in the 14-team Big Ten last season with an average of 147.2 yards through the air per game. They're currently 10th in the conference entering Saturday's game against Kent State.
Leidner ought to have more help, though, as the season gets going.
