Minnesota vs NMSU Football 2022 Preview
New Mexico State head coach Jerry Kill and Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck exchanged strong opinions and comments leading up to Thursday’s game.
The conflict stems from Kill’s time being cut short in Minnesota due to health issues in 2015. Minnesota subsequently fired Kill’s assistant Tracy Claeys in 2017, who took over the football program for Kill. In comes P.J. Fleck to lead the Gophers in 2018, and he leads the program to its best record in a half century in 2019. That included College Gameday showing up and the Gophers beating Auburn in a New Year’s Day bowl game.
Kill claimed he rebuilt the Gophers program though Fleck likewise claimed he rebuilt the program instead.
“I just think sometimes ego gets carried away,” Kill said during a 2019 radio interview according to KARE 11’s Randy Shaver.
“Do I still root for the Gophers, I do. Do I enjoy him running up and down the sidelines, no,” Kill added in the interview per Shaver. “Do I think he’s about the players? He’s about himself.”
The Golden Gophers and Aggies likely won’t settle the matter at Huntington Bank Stadium. NMSU comes into the game as heavy underdogs — 36.5 points.
Things didn’t go right for the Aggies in the season opener, 23-12 loss against Nevada. That included the benching of Aggies quarterback Diego Pavia after throwing three interceptions and fumbling once.
Minnesota has a tough, experienced defense. The Gophers allowed 17.3 points per game in 2021 for sixth in the nation.
Offensively, Gophers quarterback Tanner Morgan poses a threat along with his experience as a fifth-year starter. He has another NFL Draft prospect at receiver in Chris Autman-Bell since the departures of Rashod Bateman and Tyler Johnson.
Morgan also has strong run support again with running back Mohamed Ibrahim. He went down in the opener against Ohio State in 2021 and missed the season.
It also helps Morgan that he has offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca back. Ciarrocca spent the past two seasons at Penn State and then West Virginia.
“I think it’s almost a little bit of a luxury to know that Kirk left…and you come back still the same guy you coached [at quarterback] is already there for you,” Fleck said via Sports Illustrated’s Bring Me The Sports. “It’s unique and a lot of the guys [at receiver] are there and guys that you were recruiting are here. It doesn’t happen all the time. But I don’t look at it as two, I look at it as like one morph and it’s been fun to watch the camaraderie he has with the offense and the confidence they have in what we’re doing.”
