Following the Spring Game, here is my guess at the 2016 opening depth chart.
QUARTERBACK
Repeat after me, "Mitch is the starter." He may struggle at times, especially early in the season (he tends to do that), but Mitch Leidner is the Gopher's starting quarterback and assuming good health, he will be all season. Demry Croft did nothing during the Spring Game to give anyone reason to think he will surpass Leidner on the depth chart. Mitch is the starter, and to be honest he will be one of the better starters in the Big Ten. Very experienced, a good leader, tough and has improved every year as a passer.
