per WCCO:
Rashod Bateman led the highlight reel for the gophers in Thursday night’s home opener against South Dakota State with a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch. It was a bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming night for Minnesota.
“A lot of people ask me how I did that and the answer is I don’t know,” Bateman said. “God was with me on that one, so that’s all I can say.”
“The catch was beautiful,” head coach P.J. Fleck said. “But what I saw was the process leading up to that catch — and when he caught it, that’s Rashod responding to adversity.”
Thursday was Bateman’s first game since his uncle passed away in Georgia during the team’s training camp.
“Probably the closest father figure he has in his life. And [to] watch him go through all that, go back home, come back, go through grief, come back, bounce back, have some tough days at practice, open up and talk about it,” Fleck said.
