per Pat:
Senior Conor Rhoda will make his fourth start of 2017 and his fifth overall as the Gophers quarterback when they open the Big Ten schedule against Maryland on Sept. 30 at U.S. Bank Stadium. Junior Jacques Perra will make his fourth start of 2017 as the St. Thomas quarterback when it plays rival St. Johns in a pivotal MIAC game on Saturday at Target Field.
Perra was sitting in a corridor at the Tommies outstanding athletic facility this week and was asked if he contemplates what might have been had he remained on the football squad at the University of Minnesota.
He smiled and said: Once in a while. I can guarantee you that Im happy for Conor. He worked hard every day to get this chance.
And then Perra added: I couldnt be happier where I am, being part of this great team, getting ready to play the Johnnies. Its a different scale, obviously, but for those of us involved, Tommies-Johnnies is more intense than any rivalry for the Gophers Wisconsin and Iowa included.
