per Randy:
Becoming a leader
When Gophers coach P.J. Fleck replaced Claeys, he convinced Rhoda to take a U-turn. And since then, the QB’s leadership skills have increased.
“Oh, man. It’s been incredible,” senior tight end Nate Wozniak said. “He’s an awesome leader for us, on and off the field. … He’s always been a confident guy, but you can tell though the way he plays that he’s really going to step it up and be the key guy in key situations.”
Rhoda sees it more as gaining confidence through experience.
“My skill level and my development — knowing defenses and how to prepare to play defenses and how to study has improved a lot,” he said, comparing his play now to last year’s Maryland game. “That being my first true experience starting a game, playing meaningful time in a game, and realizing that, hey, this isn’t just a practice. That was the biggest thing.”
