#1 Rodney Smith (RS. Sophomore - RB)
Smith was consistent, elusive, and at times, a one man show as he rushed for 144 yards on just 18 carries and found pay dirt two times, including a 70-yard touchdown run to essentially seal the game in favor of the Gophers. At times he made something out of nothing and avoided tackles-for-loss all game to keep the Gophers within respectable position in relation to the chains.
