per Chip:
Mitch Leidner made his 34th start as a college quarterback on Saturday. He played in his 40th career game.
He looked like a redshirt freshman.
He missed wide receivers high and wide. He forced passes into double coverage. He stared down receivers and threw two interceptions. He didn’t crack 100 yards passing until one last desperation drive.
One week after throwing a critical interception in the end zone in the fourth quarter of a loss at Penn State, Leidner became a liability for the Gophers offense. Again.
Some fans undoubtedly will scream for a quarterback change, but that’s not happening. The Gophers have stuck with Leidner this long. They’re not going to reverse course now.
He’s still their best option, a sobering reality after watching the first two conference games of his senior season.
