per FSN:

"For me, everything's humbling. You can never get too comfortable," Cobb said. "Coach has done a great job of pushing us, and the competition is every day. I'm no better than any backs that we have. I just have the opportunity of it. I take advantage of my opportunity, just keep playing and week in and week out keep proving myself and gain the coaches' trust."

The coaching staff has been honest with Cobb throughout the process. Limegrover notes the Gophers film every practice, so if a player has an issue with their playing time, they can show them the tape and point out what needs to happen in order for a backup to become a starter.

"David had to become more mature. David had to become more responsible, because we flat-out told him, coach Anderson told him, coach (Jerry) Kill told him, ‘We don't trust you as a football player,'" Limegrover said. "‘We don't trust you to play every down. We don't trust you that you're going to do what you need to do to protect our quarterback if we're throwing the football and you're in there at tailback.'

Go Gophers!!
 

All the right answers. I'm liking Cobb more and more all the time!

Go Gophers!
 

If you were going to have a betting line on which gopher running back would get 1000 yards rushing at the beginning of the year, I highly doubt any of us would have laid money down on Cobb.

I will say though that I am glad as hell he has stepped up this season.
