per Joe:
Brooks and Rodney Smith did a pretty good imitation of what the Gophers had in 2003 and 2004, when Maroney and Marion Barber were both putting up 1,000-yard seasons.
Brooks and Smith got all the running back carries in Minnesota’s 27-24 win over Ohio.
Both players hail from Georgia. Brooks is from the mountains, in Jasper, and Smith is from suburban Atlanta, in Jonesboro.
“We have a good connection,” Smith said. “We hang out a lot. We were roommates [at the team hotel] the night before the game.
“And it was more exciting watching him score his first touchdown than when I scored my first touchdown [against TCU].
“I really can’t explain why, but I felt like a big brother.”
