Sanctuary of Success: It's only appropriate that Shannon Brooks makes his return

per Dustin:

One.

That’s how many games Minnesota running back Shannon Brooks has played in since October 28, 2017. His lone appearance in 2018 came nearly a full year after sustaining a season-ending injury the year before. In an October 26 showdown against Indiana, Brooks rushed for 154 yards and a touchdown in a 38-31 win for the Gophers.

It ended up being the only game he would play in for the year. A severe knee injury in a second straight season cut Brooks’ year short, an unfortunate theme in his career in Minneapolis.

Brooks is scheduled to step on the field this weekend, making just his second gameday appearance in 700 days. The explosive back will make his return against Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium in what will be the B1G opener for the Golden Gophers.

How appropriate that his return comes in West Lafayette.

His game against Purdue as a freshman (2015) was one of the most dominating games ever by a Gopher back. Just held down the truck stick and never let go.
