Shannon Brooks had an incredible day on Saturday. His 17 carries for 176 yards (10.4 ypc) and 1 TD were one of the best freshman running performances in Minnesota history! His 176 yards was also the best freshman rushing performance since 2003. Shannon's powerful runs and explosive stiff arm created highlights that couldn't be ignored:
