Daniel Jackson - Tallies over 100 yards again Jackson posted seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 120 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 27-12 win versus Michigan State.
Impact Jackson logged 100 receiving yards for the second week in a row after eclipsing 70 yards just once through the first six games. The senior wideout also once again accounted for the majority of targets from starting Gophers quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis (14-for-22 passing, 200 yards, one touchdown). Jackson has now accumulated 14 catches on 22 targets over the last two weeks, and he has totaled six touchdowns on 66 targets this season while also accumulating almost twice as many receptions and yards as Minnesota's next-closest receiver this season.

Jordan Nubin - Finds massive success in debut Nubin totaled 40 rushes for 204 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 27-12 victory versus Michigan State.
Impact Nubin got his first significant playing time of the season after tallying just six carries through the first eight weeks. With top running backs Darius Taylor (undisclosed) and Zach Evans (undisclosed) both sidelined, the redshirt sophomore got the start ahead of graduate senior Sean Tyler (two carries, two yards. Nubin's massive workload also led to the first two rushing touchdowns of his career, tallying an 18-yard score early in the fourth quarter followed by a two-yard score with just over four minutes left. Nubin could be called upon once again if Taylor and Evans remain sidelined against Illinois on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Cade Osterman - Done for the year Osterman (undisclosed) won't play this season.
Impact The freshman Osterman will have to wait until 2024 to make his collegiate debut after he was officially ruled out for the season Saturday. The 6-foot-1 Osterman, a two-star recruit, will look to compete for a role in the Golden Gophers passing attack next year.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Evans - Won't suit up Saturday Evans (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game versus Michigan State.
Impact Evans was unable to finish last week's game against Iowa due to injury, and it appears that issue will carry over into Week 9, leaving the Gophers down some major firepower in the backfield with Darius Taylor (undisclosed) also out. Sean Tyler and Jordan Nubin are expected to see additional carries as a result.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Darius Taylor - Out Saturday Taylor (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Michigan State.
Impact With both Taylor and Zach Evans out Saturday, Sean Tyler and Jordan Nubin will likely see expanded roles in a home matchup with Michigan State. Taylor had been impressive in his freshman season, tallying 103 carries for 591 yards and four touchdowns through his first five games.

Darius Taylor - Status unclear for Saturday Taylor left last week's game versus Iowa multiple times with injuries, but coach PJ Fleck indicated Friday that the team "received some good news" about him and fellow injured back...
Impact While Taylor still logged 16 carries for 59 yards, it seems he may not have been available toward the end of the game. While things seem to be trending in the right direction, Fleck also noted that Sean Tyler and Jordan Nubin would be in line to receive more carries if Taylor and Evans can't play. Saturday's availability report may provide more clarity on the backfield situation.

Three factors for Gophers football that could define the rest of the season The Gophers need more out of their passing game, for one, heading into Saturday's game against Michigan State.

Athan Kaliakmanis - Does enough in win Kaliakmanis completed 10 of 25 passes for 126 yards during Saturday's 12-10 win over Iowa. He also had eight rushes for negative seven yards.
Impact Kaliakmanis avoided making any costly turnovers in this defensive battle, earning him a win against Iowa's struggling signal-caller Deacon Hill (10-for-28 passing, 116 yards, one interception). The Golden Gophers' starter once again heavily relied upon WR1 Daniel Jackson (seven catches, 12 targets, 101 yards) while the team continued to lean into its running game between Darius Taylor, Zach Evans (undisclosed) and Sean Tyler, as these three logged 35 combined carries. Through seven starts in 2023, Kaliakmanis has completed 53.4 percent of his 161 passing attempts for 923 yards and six touchdowns to six interceptions. His inconsistency combined with a game-manager role will continue to make Kaliakmanis a no-go in fantasy.

Daniel Jackson - Logs season highs in loss Jackson gathered in seven of 12 targets for 101 yards during Saturday's 12-10 win versus Iowa.
Impact Jackson accounted for all but three of the completions from Minnesota starting quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, who went 10-for-25 passing against Iowa's elite defense. The senior wideout also surpassed 100 receiving yards for the first time this season and just the second time in his career. Jackson has been the primary target for Kaliakmanis during the Golden Gophers' tightest games this season, totaling 16 receptions on 28 targets versus Iowa and in the 13-10 win versus Nebraska in Week 1. Jackson has totaled just 28 targets across the other five games this season. His target share could once again increase if Minnesota gets into another dogfight with Michigan State this coming Saturday.
OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Darius Taylor - Totals 84 yards in tough win Taylor accrued 16 carries for 59 yards and caught all three targets for 25 yards during Saturday's 12-10 victory over Iowa.
Impact Taylor continued to pace the Gophers' rushing game in his return from a two-game layoff with a leg injury. The true freshman running back did not log at least 22 carries for the first time since taking over Minnesota's starting running back job, as this was likely due to the team's inability to string together sustained drives in this defensive slugfest. Taylor's ability to still carry this rushing attack is encouraging, especially since RB2 Zach Evans (10 carries, 44 yards) came away from the win with an undisclosed injury. Should Evans miss time moving forward, then Taylor will likely have to carry a larger workload again Week 9 versus Michigan State.

Zach Evans - Hurt in win Evans (undisclosed) had 10 carries for 44 yards in Saturday's win over Iowa before leaving with an injury, Randy Johnson of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Evans, a redshirt freshman, had worked his way into the Golden Gophers' running-back rotation, tallying 37 carries for 174 yards and a score in his last three games. Darius Taylor should continue to see the majority of reps as Minnesota's lead back, though Sean Tyler could work his way back into the picture if Evans is forced to miss additional time.
