Max Brosmer, Gophers quarterback and difference-makerMax Brosmer is showing a knack for making winning plays in high-stakes moments.
Ethan Garbers - Throws three picks in returnGarbers completed 25 of 36 passes for 293 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions during Saturday's 21-17 loss to Minnesota. He also had eight rushes for zero yards.
ImpactGarbers continue dto struggle in his return to action after missing last week's loss to Penn State with a lower-leg injury. The graduate senior quarterback has now thrown at least two interceptions in three of five starts this season, and Saturday's game marked his first game with a completion percentage over 62 percent this season. Garbers' struggles are intertwined with the Bruins' offensive deficiencies overall this season, so he'll more than likely remain the starting quarterback for next week's cross-country road trip at Rutgers.

J.Michael Sturdivant - Logs 107 yards versus MinnesotaSturdivant accrued seven receptions (on 11 targets) for 107 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-17 defeat versus Minnesota.
ImpactSturdivant finally made an impact after totaling five catches on 13 targets through the first five games of the season. The redshirt junior was expected to lead this receiving corps this season after totaling 36 catches (on 75 targets) for 597 yards last year. He finally saw a significant role with Notre Dame transfer Rico Flores (undisclosed) sidelined for the sceond game in a row. Sturdivant will likely once again serve as the top target for quarterback Ethan Garbers if Flores remains inactive for next Saturday's road trip to Rutgers.

Titus Mokiao-Atimalala - Available for Saturday gameMokiao-Atimalala (undisclosed) logged three receptions for 24 yards during UCLA's loss Saturday against Minnesota.
ImpactBefore the Minnesota-UCLA game Saturday, UCLA ruled Mokiao-Atimalala as out for then via the Big Ten Conference's availability report. But when it came to game-time, he played. This disregard for the conference's rules, which state that all status designations must be as honest as possible, may not go unnoticed. But in the case of Mokiao-Atimalala, he is back after a three-game absence, improving his 2024 output to seven receptions for 67 yards.
