35 days, which is exactly 5 weeks from the kickoff to the 2015 season. Rodrick Williams Jr. (aka Nugget) is ready to go and just may end up being your lead tailback for the season.
Williams hails from Lewisville, TX and was a Farmer (not like a real farmer but that was his high school's mascot...no really it was). With no scholarship juniors on the roster and Williams being the only senior he is the elder statesman of the running backs and the favorite to start the year atop the depth chart. He has participated in 31 games through his first three seasons as a Golden Gopher and has 707 yards and 8 touchdowns over his career.
