Glimpse at the Gophers: Position-by-position breakdown of Minnesota heading into Quick Lane Bowl

Central Michigan is less than a week away from squaring off with Minnesota in the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit.

Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m. and will air live on ESPN2.

Here is a rundown on how the 5-7 Golden Gophers stack up at each position:

Quarterback: Redshirt junior Mitch Leidner has started every game for Minnesota and is 218-of-377 through the air with 2,478 yards and 13 touchdowns against 10 interceptions. His best game from a statistical standpoint perhaps came at Ohio State when he was 27-of-44 passing for 281 yards and two TDs plus an interception.
