Minnesota Golden Gophers Head Coach announced that starting running back Darius Taylor will not be playing in the season opener against North Carolina. Taylor suffered an injury during pre-season training which has prevented him from being fit to play in the upcoming game.
This news comes as a blow to the team as Taylor was expected to be a key player in their offensive lineup. The talented running back was anticipated to make a significant impact on the field and his absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team.
Coach Johnson expressed his disappointment at not being able to have Taylor on the field for the season opener but emphasized the importance of player safety and ensuring that Taylor has enough time to recover fully before returning to play.
In Taylor’s absence, the team will be looking towards other running backs to step up and fill the void. The coaching staff has been working with other players to ensure they are prepared for the upcoming game and ready to take on the challenge of facing North Carolina without Taylor in the lineup.
Despite this setback, the team remains optimistic and determined to perform well in the season opener. They have been training hard and are focused on starting the season on a positive note, even without one of their key players.
Fans of the Golden Gophers will be eagerly anticipating the team’s performance in the upcoming game and will be hoping for a successful start to the season, regardless of Taylor’s absence. The team is ready to rise to the challenge and show their strength and resilience on the field.
