per Sid:
And while those losses were difficult, one of the big bright spots for the Gophers this season has been the play of redshirt sophomore running back Rodney Smith.
He ranks fourth in the Big Ten in rushing yards with 590 and tied for third in rushing touchdowns with seven. He notched the longest run of his career last week in the 31-10 victory over Maryland with a 70-yarder up the middle that showcased his excellent vision and then his great speed.
Smith talked earlier this season about how he views his running style.
“I try not to be one-dimensional,” he said. “I try to run physical but at the same time make people miss. I try to pattern my game after [former Texans star and current Dolphin] Arian Foster, I liked watching [Hall of Fame running back] Marshall Faulk, those guys do a little bit of both; they run hard between the tackles, but when they do get out on the edge they can make people miss.”
