per Randy:
Shannon Brooks, team player that he is, has Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck’s catchphrases down pat.
Ask the junior running back how he is doing, and you will get an “elite” as a response. And he will throw out a “change your best” as his goal for improvement.
But when asked Tuesday if he is ready to start hitting opponents rather than teammates after three weeks of training camp, Brooks got a mischievous smile on his face.
“Yes sir! You know it,” he said. “That’s what it’s about.”
That sentiment could sum up the entire team’s thoughts, with the Aug. 31 season opener against Buffalo at TCF Bank Stadium on the horizon.
“This really marks the end of training camp today, in terms of us,” Fleck said. “Now as we go into the end of this week, we shift towards Buffalo.”
