The Pro Football Focus grades from the Gophers’ 27-14 road loss to California are in and it’s a rough look for star safety Koi Perich and a bunch of Minnesota offensive linemen. Here’s what stands out in the grades.

- WR Le’Meke Brockington, 80.8

- TE Jameson Geers, 79.3
- WR Javon Tracy, 63.2
- RB Cam Davis, 60.8
- WR Logan Loya, 53.8
- WR Jalen Smith, 43.4
Lindsey was 17 of 25 for 201 yards when kept clean, and just 2 of 7 for 4 yards when under pressure. He threw his interception in a clean pocket, though it was 3rd-and-12 after Minnesota ran the ball for one yards on 2nd-and-13.

Perich had worst game of his young career. The sophomore had a career-low PFF grade, highlighted by three missed tackles (career-high) and six receptions allowed (career-high) on seven targets.
His difficulties on defense were magnified by his special teams errors, which saw him fair catch a punt inside the 5-yard line and then muff a punt that California recovered near the Minnesota goal line midway through the fourth quarter.
