I am just a player trying to do what I`m told.
During fall camp, Fran came to me and told me he wanted me to play fullback, ... I said, `Sure, Fran, I`ll do it.` Basil had a couple good games, and when they did move me back to tailback, there was no way I was going to be the starter because he`d been playing so well.
They made some great adjustments in the second half. We obviously didn`t do a good enough job in finishing.
What else could I do? ... I passed everybody (on the draft board) except for Deuce (McAllister), and we were neck-and-neck.
I can`t answer that question. It`s not for me to answer. I don`t call the plays.
I don`t call the plays,
I`m sure Bill said, `If we stop the run, we have a great chance to win the game because they don`t have their All-Pro tight end,`
I went to the Senior Bowl and told myself I`m going to answer the question about this competition thing once and for all,
But nobody really recruited me: TCU, Baylor, North Texas, UTEP ... teams like that. I went on a visit to Kansas State but they didn`t offer me. A&M was waiting on another running back and didn`t offer me. I was overlooked.
Every day I walked out the door on the way to practice, I`d look at that letter, ... That`s what drove me my senior year.
