Marcus Major

ANALYSIS
Major found the end zone on a two-yard run in the second quarter to stretch out the lead for Minnesota, and that was about the only noteworthy part of the day for the senior running back. The return of fellow running back Darius Taylor meant a drop in volume for Major, though his efficiency took a tumble as well, as he averaged just 1.7 YPC on his limited attempts. Major still received the second-most touches on the day among the Minnesota backfield members, though Taylor will likely command the majority of touches moving forward assuming he has returned to full health. A home matchup against Nevada may provide an opportunity for Major to impress and earn a larger role within the offense.
