Every Gopher fan remembers the 2018 Wisconsin game. But for how many of them does Tanner Morgan come to mind when they think back to that game? Very few, I imagine. And I can’t say I blame them. Looking at the box score, Morgan’s performance — 9-of-16 for 124 passing yards and no touchdowns — seems like nothing to write home about.
But at the urging of KFAN’s Justin Gaard, I decided to give it a closer look. I don’t know that anyone could have watched that game and predicted Morgan would follow it up with a record-setting redshirt sophomore season, but there were certainly flashes of what was to come.
