Title: Minnesota vs. New Mexico State Game Week
Post by: ELA on August 20, 2018, 04:21:26 PM

Not technically Game Week, but I don't think we have a Minnesota offseason thread, and there is no point in starting one on August 20.

Fleck names Zack Annexstad his starting QB.

True freshman walk-on starting QB?  Yikes!  Or a great story?  Probably, yikes.

Apparently he transferred from a Minnesota HS to IMG, and did have offers from Illinois and Pitt.  Fleck convinced him to come walk on close to home.  So he's a pretty good freshman walk-on, but still.

A non-committable from Illinois. They took 3 QB's this year - all of them dual variety. One of those will be a safety, most likely. Not sure about his Pitt offer.


The Goophers should roll NMSU. 


If they don't.. well, this could be Year Zero, 2.0.

The Red Aggies will be coming off of four days rest.
