FILE - In this Aug. 30, 2018, file photo, Minnesota tight end Seth Green (17) reacts to scoring a touchdown against New Mexico State during an NCAA college football game, in Minneapolis. Green was going to be the third-string quarterback for Minnesota this season, until the Gophers coaches got the idea to better apply his skills. Now he's a hybrid who also plays wide receiver and tight end, plus a ball-carrying role that produced two touchdowns off a direct snap in the opening win against New Mexico State. Green and the Gophers will face a much tougher test, particularly on defense, when Fresno State visits this weekend. (AP Photo/Stacy Bengs, File)
