COLUMBUS, Ohio — Top running back Darius Taylor was not listed on the Gophers’ unavailability report, setting up his return against No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday night.
The Gophers only listed two safeties as out against the Buckeyes — Aidan Gousby and Garrison Monroe — for the prime-time game at Ohio Stadium.
Taylor is the U’s most dynamic tailback, and the 6-foot, 215-pound junior missed the Rutgers and California games due to an apparent hamstring injury suffered early in the 66-0 win over Northwestern (La.) State on Sept. 6.
Taylor’s return is welcomed after Minnesota rushed for only 35 yards on 18 carries in the 31-28 win over Rutgers last weekend. Fame Ijeboi has 12 carries for 37 yards, and Cam Davis had three totes for eight yards.
Taylor has 33 carries for 161 yards and caught five passes for 45 yards across two victories over Buffalo and Northwestern State.
