It's not news that P.J. Fleck wished Drake Lindsey a "Happy Birthday" to start his press conference.
But what is news is his phrasing of it.
"Starting quarterback, Drake Lindsey."
First I've seen him explicitly state that the Arkansas native will be the #Gophers QB1.

I had the chance to ask #Gophers coach P.J. Fleck at Big Ten Media Days earlier this week if he thought he'd be at Minnesota now, entering his ninth year.
Fleck was incredibly candid in his response.

Is it early yet? Yes.
Will things change yet? Absolutely.
Will they likely stay there? Probably not.
But the #Gophers are sitting in early June with the #10 recruiting class.
This 2026 class has a chance to be Fleck's best one thus far at Minnesota.

The West Palm Beach native gives Minnesota some needed experience at five-technique with two years to play yet.

My Heisman ballot.
I ultimately landed on Hunter as my #1 as he did things this season we may not see again for decades.
Jeanty was tremendous though, and I definitely understand why it was the closest Heisman vote since 2009.

#Gophers availability report for Penn State.
- Starting safety Aidan Gousby is out, so I'm expecting Kerry Brown to slide to SS, which puts Koi Perich as a starter at FS
- Tyler Cooper returns, and likely starts at left guard
