The Minnesota football team will be without starting quarterback Mitch Leidner when it hits the road for a game against Maryland this weekend as the Gophers continue their search for the first conference win of the season.
On Tuesday, the Gophers released their updated depth chart for this week and revealed Leidner will not make the trip.
There is no word on a specific injury or what led to Leidner taking a place on the bench.
