Frequently asked questions
Does Minnesota publish snap counts?
No. College programs do not release snap counts, and no public source tracks them for every player. Paid services chart some games. This page shows the closest public measure: each player's share of Minnesota's offensive plays.
What is share of plays?
The share of the team's offensive plays on which a player threw the ball, ran it or was targeted. Unlike a snap count, it leaves out plays where the player was on the field without the ball, so blockers and defenders are not included.
Who is Minnesota's lead running back?
Darius Taylor is involved in 26.1% of Minnesota's plays and 45.2% of its runs this season.
Who is Minnesota's most targeted pass catcher?
Noah Jennings (WR) is involved in 25.1% of Minnesota's pass plays, the most of any receiver or tight end.
