Minnesota Football Preview: Will 2022 be an Upgrade or Downgrade for the Gopher wide receivers

The unit remains largely intact from last year. Another year of experience, a new coordinator and the return of Tanner Morgan.

2021

As mentioned in the quarterback preview, this was not a unit that was fully utilized in 2021. We just didn’t pass very often. And perhaps most frustrating were the routes called for this crew. It was confusing how so often receivers were in the same area as the pass came. Or other games when they would continue to run the same routes, presumably because it was part of the initial game-plan, but there was a lack of adjusting when things weren’t working as expected.
