The status of quarterback Tanner Morgan is uncertain for 11th-ranked Minnesota's game at Northwestern after back-to-back sacks in the last game put him in concussion protocol. Head coach PJ Fleck says Morgan has made progress this week, but he is not yet cleared for action and could be a game-time decision. If Morgan is out, true freshmen Jacob Clark or Cole Kramer will take his spot. The Gophers are 9-1 this season, ranked 11th in the country. Katie Johnston for WCCO 4 News.
