Add in guys like Minnesota recruit Brian Kortovich, Power Four recruit D’Angelo White and a heady QB in Johnny Vuraich, all of whom operate behind the line led by Boston College recruit Robert Smith, and the Vikings can be a handful to defend. … Mooney got blanked last week, so getting the offense going will be a key for Coach Carl Pelini’s team.
