Last week, Minnesota offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said redshirt freshman quarterback Mitch Leidner likes to call his own number and run.
Leidner brought Limegrover’s words to life Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium as he became the second Gophers quarterback to ever rush for four touchdowns in a single game.
Leidner ran for 151 yards on 24 attempts, leading the Gophers football team past San Jose State 43-24.
He was active from the get-go, rushing for 58 yards on Minnesota’s second drive of the game and capping off with a 10-yard Leidner touchdown run.
