  The Gophers' plans to expand the role of Rodney Smith last season were foiled when the standout running back suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second game. Those plans are now back in play. Head coach P.J. Fleck told WCCO-AM on Sunday he hopes to get Smith more involved in the passing game when the season starts Aug. 29 against South Dakota State at TCF Bank Stadium. "Rodney Smith has worked really hard in terms of not just the running back position, but he's also worked really hard at playing wide receiver," Fleck said on the radio." ...Last year he got hurt, so we weren't able to show it, but he can really do a lot of things in the slot." Smith tore his left anterior cruciate ligament after catching a screen pass on the opening drive of a 21-14 win over Fresno State last September. The Gophers are expected to field a stable of running backs who can contribute this fall. Minnesota will host a local media day Tuesday and hold its first closed practice Wednesday. The first open-to-the-pubic practice will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium. - Pioneer Press
