Gophers football: With Ben Lauer out, offensive line adjusts

Gophers offensive lineman Josh Campion moved from right guard to left tackle in Friday's practice.

The shuffle comes because junior left tackle Ben Lauer is expected to miss a week with a left knee injury. Campion started all 13 games at left tackle in 2014 before moving to the right interior spot during fall camp.

"We've got to make sure we got the right people in the right place," coach Jerry Kill said. "We are going to play around for a while, and then probably after Monday, we will lock it in a little bit."

True freshman Tyler Moore is a "natural center that can also play guard," Kill said, adding that sophomore Connor Mayes will remain at guard.
