I'll have a correction in Tuesday's paper after writing the following on Page C5, in Monday's print editions. Under the "You might have missed" category from Saturday's win at Nebraska, I wrote:
• Fullback Miles Tarver made a big block to help spring Rodrick Williams on his 19-yard touchdown run, which came on fourth-and-1 with the Gophers trailing 24-14.
Yep, I mistakenly have former Gophers basketball player Miles Tarver playing fullback now. Brain cramp by me. It obviously should have been Miles Thomas.
Miles Thomas
I feel terrible because Thomas has been such an unsung guy anyway. Coach Jerry Kill was raving about that block Sunday and talking about how Thomas keeps getting better and better. Thomas walked on from Butler Community College and has filled the huge void left by Mike Henry's graduation.
Thomas has five receptions for 37 yards, and seemingly all of them have given the Gophers a key first down.
"Our fullback, shoot, some people don't even know his name, what he's done," Kill said Sunday.
And a few hours later, I proved it with what I wrote in the paper. Sheesh. My bad. I definitely regret the error.
