  When Chris Autman-Bell was injured in preseason camp last August, the loss of the Gophers' No. 1 target was a major blow to its passing game to start the season. The loss hurt further because the receiver was believed to be peaking going into his fifth collegiate season. "Chris Autman-Bell had the best training camp I've seen by a wide receiver since I've been coaching," coach P.J. Fleck said in March. "Then he got hurt, and he fought that through...the first few games, then he came back and got hurt on the first play of one of the games we lost (to Bowling Green). I'm looking forward to him having, hopefully, a very healthy season because he looks amazing." Autman-Bell didn't say in mid-April how long that ankle injury affected his play last year. He had career highs in receptions (36), yards (506) and touchdowns (six) in 11 games, but it wasn't the type of production expected out of WR1.

It was also a passing game-wide epidemic. "Last year was super frustrating," Autman-Bell said. "I stayed positive the whole time and had a smile on my face and kept pushing, because it's bigger than me." Autman-Bell said he's now fully back. "This is probably the best I've ever felt physically," he said. "...I feel awesome." - Pioneer Press
