Smith on bowl
Running back Rodney Smith had another great day in the Gophers’ efficient 40-17 victory at Illinois on Saturday.
He had his third consecutive 100-yard rushing day and added two touchdowns. And more importantly, the Gophers became bowl-eligible.
“Guys like David Cobb and Damien [Wilson], they changed the culture here,” Smith told the Big Ten Network after the game. “We’re just trying to keep it rolling. Winning games is expected here now. Raising the bar each year and getting to a bowl game and winning a bowl game is always the goal.”
Smith’s backfield teammate Shannon Brooks was asked by BTN what he has seen from the offense, which has looked improved.
“Just play hard, we know we have a great team if we all come together and do our job,” Brooks said. “If we come out here and play physical, I feel like we can always do good things on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Our mentality really is just to run hard and play hard, like we always do.”
