Lindsey and coordinators face questions ahead of second half

Bye-week and rivalry-week analysis continues to question Minnesota’s offensive identity, run-game production and play-calling. Taylor has 64 carries for 154 yards, with 83 across his last three Big Ten games; Fleck backs him while citing practice availability, and Thomas has outperformed him in most rushing measures. Iowa’s fifth-ranked rushing defense and Lindsey’s five interceptions in six games make execution fixes urgent.
