Minnesota quarterback Zack Annexstad will be out indefinitely with a foot injury he suffered during Friday’s practice.
“Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game, and we feel terrible for Zack,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said in a statement released Saturday.
Annexstad threw for 1,277 yards and nine touchdowns last season as a freshman. He started Minnesota’s first seven games before injuries slowed him down and ultimately ended his season.
Sophomore Tanner Morgan figures to start for the Gophers. Also a sophomore, Morgan stepped in last season when Annexstad went down and threw for 1,401 yards and nine touchdowns.
Minnesota went 7-6 last year and Morgan led the team to a rare win at Wisconsin and a bowl victory against Georgia Tech.
