Gophers coach Fleck expects RB Ibrahim to play this week, previews game vs. Illinois

Gophers coach P.J. Fleck is proud of his team's response after losing to Purdue. The Gophers are coming off their bye week for a game at Illinois on Saturday. They should have running back Mo Ibrahim back after he was injured in the last game.

Tommy DeVito's status for Saturday's game against the Gophers is still unknown. DeVino had his left ankle rolled up in Illinois' 9-6 victory over Iowa. Several starters were injured against Iowa, including wide receiver Isaiah Williams, sophomore defensive back Taz Nicholson and senior linebacker Isaac Darkangelo. The Gopher are a 6.5 point favorite.
