Rhodes, who rushed for nine touchdowns and over 1,000 yards as an Indianapolis Colts rookie in 2001, ran all over the Colonials and finished just shy of a 100 yards rushing.
The Colonials are now 1-2 and have fallen to fourth place.The Tuskers, meanwhile, sit right above them at an even 2-2 after the win.
