MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota and Max Brosmer took a chance on each other this season. They've formed a strong partnership. The leading passer in the FCS who threw more than 40 times per game for New Hampshire sought to transfer to a power conference team he could lead for his final season. Now the ball has been in the air for the Gophers more than on the ground. The last time that was the case for was 2007. The Gophers called runs on 62% of plays over the first seven seasons under coach P.J. Fleck. They've passed 55% of the time this season.
