per Randy:
Croft’s running did help. He carried seven times for 31 yards, and this season has 127 yards on 14 carries, a 9.1-yard average. Rhoda, by comparison, has 18 yards on 17 rushes. And through the air in the fourth quarter, Croft went 8-for-14 for 131 yards and three TDs.
“He showed what he can do. He can create,” Fleck said. “He can take a broken play and get out of there. He can make the right throws.”
Said Croft, “It’s a blessed feeling to be out there with the guys and just keep rowing the boat and seeing the smile on everybody’s faces.”
Still, the coach emphasized that Croft must continue rebuilding trust.
“I’ve seen a difference,” Fleck said of Croft since his return. “It’s too early to say I’ve seen a big difference. Trust is built over a very long period of time. It’s not built on, ‘OK, I won’t do that.’ Trust is very hard to gain and very easy to lose. That’s going to be a process as we continue to go forward.”
When asked what he had learned from the suspension, Croft repeated one of Fleck’s mantras.
“Just change your best and grow every day and work on that,” he said.
