per the Daily:
The Gophers came into this season with questions at quarterback, and after five games, the position is Conor Rhoda's — for now.
While he has 54 completions per his 97 attempts, he has also thrown four interceptions in five games.
“The way I saw it evolve the most was when I went from being a third, fourth-string guy my first three years here, to then winning the backup job my redshirt junior year,” Rhoda said. “It was a confidence boost for myself, but it also showed the rest of my team, that ‘hey, I can do this.’”
The quarterback initially shared the starter’s spot with his counterpart, Demry Croft.
Now, Rhoda has been the solo starter at quarterback since the third game of the season, and since then the team is 1-2, with two consecutive Big Ten losses. Rhoda has managed to throw for 786 yards and five touchdowns this season.
“He’s the best quarterback we have right now,” Fleck said. “I think he’s done a great job until this point, of doing what we’ve asked him to do.”
