per Joe:
Even with last year's leading rusher, Shannon Brooks, recovering from a broken bone in his foot, the Gophers don't expect their running game to skip a beat Thursday against Oregon State.
If Brooks was option 1A, then Rodney Smith was 1B. A fellow sophomore, Smith had several strong performances last year. He had 16 carries for 88 yards (5.5 avg.) in the season opener against No. 2 TCU. He rushed for 108 yards against Colorado State and averaged 6.2 yards per carry against Michigan.
"I’m definitely prepared for a bigger role," Smith said. "Whatever the team asks of me, I feel like I’m capable of doing."
