Linebacker depth
Gophers coaches believe a half-dozen linebackers can play at the Big Ten level come September. With starter Maverick Baranowski held out, a few of them backed up the praise on Saturday.
Sophomore Nate Cleveland had a nice read to shoot the A gap and make a tackle for lost yards. It was one of the first splash plays from the defense in the opening half. He finished with a game-high 10 total tackles and a sack.
Redshirt junior Matt Kingsbury was later credited with a sack to end a drive and finished with five tackles; sophomore linebacker Emmanuel Karmo jumped an out route for an interception early in the second half.
