Recapping the top performers on offense and defense for Minnesota in Saturday's 30-23 win over Nebraska, according to Pro Football Focus analytics.
PFF Ratings Reference:
- 60-70 = average numbers for college
- 71-84 = above average to great starters
- 85+ is elite
Top Five Offensive Performers with at least 20 snaps:
Bryce Williams - 82.4
Tanner Morgan - 82.4
John Michael-Schmitz - 79.0
Chris Autman-Bell - 78.7
Blaise Andries - 76.9
- Great to see a breakout game this year for Bryce Williams. He's been in of the lineup, out of the lineup, had his carries taken and then given back, and to see him have a big game is fun to see.
- Morgan with a great game as well. Only one really bad decision in my opinion. Minnesota will need him to be the key to the car if they want to have a chance to win the West.
- Of players who played more than 15+ snaps, only two were below average (Brady Boyd: 59.2 & Ky Thomas 57.9). A complete offensive performance.
Top 5 Defensive Performers with at least 20 snaps:
Boye Mafe - 81.5
MJ Anderson - 75.4
Micah Dew-Treadway - 72.4
Esezi Otomewo - 71.7
Coney Durr - 69.3
- Mafe continues his elite season. He very well could be in line for postseason honors and a potential draft pick if he keeps playing the way he is.
- MJ Anderson has been silently a stud all season. To bring in a rotation guy that can get pressure by himself is a luxury.
- Tyler Nubin with a rare down game this season (52.8) but I believe he'll be fine.
