Minnesota Gophers’ Season Opener Update
The Minnesota Gophers will be missing a key player when they kick off their season against North Carolina on Thursday night. Just two hours before the game, it was confirmed that Darius Taylor, their top running back, will not be in action due to a hamstring injury he sustained a couple of weeks ago—an issue that has bothered him in the past as well.
With Taylor sidelined, the Gophers will need to lean on transfers Marcus Major and Sieh Bangura, along with Jordan Nubin, to carry the load. This could pose a challenge, especially if the weather plays a role in hampering the passing game. On a brighter note, the Gophers will have their star wide receiver, Daniel Jackson, on the field, giving fans something to cheer about!
