“Of course I've noticed it, but it doesn't bother me at all. I don't think there's any racial tension. I'm from West Texas, so I've seen that before. That's never crossed my mind. It's worse back home than it is here.”
“You are basically a blue-collar worker out there. You're the man behind the quarterback and the person that makes everything run. . . . You're in every play. You have to be ready to take on any challenge.”
“I played fullback my junior year and tailback my senior year. It was a power-I offense. I was blocking back then. That's all we did. It's a whole lot better getting to run the ball.”
“It's kind of funny, the defense doesn't know who has the ball. We watch films and I'll be getting tackled and (quarterback) Shaun (Carney) will be running around the end and nobody will touch him. Or everybody will be running after Shaun and I'll be running up the middle and not get touched.”
“Having me at fullback, you kind of have that we-can-score-at-any- time mentality. When I get the ball, I can score from maybe 40, 50 and maybe 60 yards out, and that's definitely a threat we haven't had in the past.”
