The Gophers’ first win in East Lansing since 2006
Tanner Morgan completed 23 of 26 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns while Mohamed Ibrahim rushed for 100 yards and a score as the Gophers rolled to a 34-7 romp over the Spartans.
Before Thursday's season opener, Fleck sought out Kill, his former boss at Northern Illinois, and put his around around him. Over the past six years, Kill had criticized Fleck.
Ibrahim, who had also been recruited by Fleck when he was with the Broncos, was the catalyst for bringing the band back together on offense for another run at a Big Ten West Division title.
Tyler Nubin is one of two senior safeties looking to help command the defense this fall. He'll be looking to fill the role of the current NFL player who was his mentor with the Gophers.
