per his Q&A:

Do you think it’s fair to start thinking of running back Shannon Brooks as the future for the Minnesota offense? He nearly destroyed Purdue on his own and looked miles better than the Gophers other backs. – Travis Fawver

Brooks was very impressive, true freshman or not, ripping through Purdue for 176 yards rushing. His 71-yard scoring jaunt was a gem. The Boilermakers wanted NO PART in tackling him. But, again, it was Purdue. Brooks will face much better defenses. Still, it was an impressive effort and his future looks bright. With redshirt freshman Rodney Smith in the mix, too, the Gophers have a nice set of young backs.
