Week 9 was another quiet one as many former Gophers were either relegated to special teams work or did not play at all. The honeymoon is over for the Gophers in NYC as both JMS and Tyler Nubin have lost their playing time. Antoine Winfield Jr is hurt again, and Blake Cashman just keeps playing his heart out even as the Vikings offense stinks. But Max Brosmer got in the game and did well….so that’s a win? Here is how the former Gophers did in Week 9 and a look ahead to Week 10.
