Brooks’ debut

Senior running back Shannon Brooks made his season debut Saturday, just his second game in nearly two years because of injuries. He put together five carries for 5 yards.

“It was good to get him back,” Fleck said. “I think this was a great game to get back on the field and get him loose. He missed some cuts, missed some holes, but he’s so full speed all the time. He hasn’t played football in a while. So we’ve got to get him back into that.”

The Gophers had myriad injured players ahead of the bye week, and all returned Saturday. Martin was back from a foot sprain and senior running back Rodney Smith from a oblique strain. Freshman running back Cam Wiley, who had a concussion, didn’t play but did warm up. And sophomore running back Mohamed Ibrahim checked into the game but didn’t make any carries. Fleck said Ibrahim will be back to full strength after his leg issue next week.
