2015 Gophers spring game

3 p.m. today

TCF Bank Stadium

Admission: Free

TV: Big Ten Network

Streaming: On BTN2GO

Tape-delayed radio: 100.3-FM (6 p.m., because of the Wild game).

Format: Like last year, the Gophers won't divide into two separate teams and keep score. They'll pit the offense vs. the defense in a series of drives. It's full contact for everyone except the quarterbacks.

Pre- and postgame: The stadium doors open at 1 p.m. The Gophers will hold an alumni flag football game at 1:15, with the current team taking the field at 3 p.m. Following the spring game, players will sign autographs on the field.

Three new players to watch

Jeff Jones: The highly touted recruit from Minneapolis Washburn has been turning heads all spring, working as a slot receiver.

Rodney Smith: The coaches compare his vision to David Cobb's, and the redshirt freshman should get a lot of carries Saturday.

Isaiah Gentry: The 6-4 Cincinnati Moeller graduate has the speed and skill to become a deep-play threat.

The Gophers played with more urgency, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from another conference sweep, and they lost LJ Mooney to injury in the process.
