Gophers coach Jerry Kill says MarQueis Gray will likely start against Nebraska when the Gophers open the second half of their season a week from Saturday. Gray is trying to recover from a foot injury that he suffered during Minnesota's game on Sept. 24.

Gophers football coach Jerry Kill says he expects freshman Max Shortell to be the starting quarterback for Saturday's game against the Purdue Boilermakers. Junior MarQueis Gray is still recovering from a toe injury, and won't get the start unless he's completely healthy.

Sure, the Wolverines are 4-0 and the Gophers are 1-3, but MarQueis Gray and Denard Robinson play the game the same way. Offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover says both quarterback's like to run and struggle to throw.

Gophers quarterback MarQueis Gray is taking advantage of the bye week to fully heal his injured left big toe. The junior didn't start the last two games because of turf toe. Gray says he's feeling much better and will be ready to start next Saturday when Minnesota hosts Nebraska.

A vote of confidence for MarQueis Gray. Gophers football coach says the junior quarterback will start again next year. Kill tells the Pioneer Press Gray is the best athlete on the team and just needs to worry about getting better.

Minnesota offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover says Coach Jerry Kill will be at TCF Bank Stadium Saturday when the Gophers host Miami (Ohio). Limegrover tells KFAN radio Kill will either be on the sidelines or in the press box, but he'll be there.

MarQueis Gray is still recovering from turf toe but was moving around better during practice on Wednesday. Head coach Jerry Kill says Gray "has a lot better chance to play this week than last week." Freshman Max Shortell will start if Gray can't play.
