Gophers Face Akron’s Fast Offense | Minnesota Golden Gophers Football News

Minnesota’s defense must rise to the challenge this Saturday as they face Akron, a scrappy team led by dual-threat freshman QB Cibastian Broughton, who’s throwing for over 80% accuracy and rushing for big yards. With a no-huddle offense and a dozen receivers catching passes, Akron’s attack is spread wide — and Minnesota’s defense needs to be sharper, more disciplined, and quicker to disrupt their rhythm. While Akron’s defense is rebuilding without key players from last year, the Gophers can’t afford another sloppy performance. This is their final non-conference game — and a win could set them up for a strong conference run. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
