carry definitely full load motivation running sure thinks throughout
I'm sure Barnett probably still thinks I'm not a running back. But that's definitely my motivation throughout the season, that I can carry a full load and be durable.
definitely pancake running
He definitely had a lot of pancake blocks. He's just going to get better and we're going to keep running to his side.
body definitely hard obviously people run work
It is tough. You're up 'til 11, you're up at 6, and that's definitely hard on your body. But I wanted to work out. Obviously I wanted to run faster, but people know I can run fast. I have no regrets.
against anyone carolina country definitely fast florida kansas north overall played state teams
I know Florida State is probably as fast as anyone in the country. I've played against some of the better teams with a lot of overall speed, like Oklahoma, Kansas State and USC. And I definitely think North Carolina will be similar.
coach deserved gave good nobody
We wanted to have coach Alvarez end on a good note. Nobody gave us a chance. We deserved to be here and we won.
chance difference good late possibly ready round second showcase throw work
I think I'm ready to run, ready to work out. You have nothing to hide. This is my chance to showcase what I can do. This is probably the difference between going in the second round and possibly going late first. Everybody's on an even (playing field); if I can throw out some good workouts, who knows? I could go in the late first.
consistent focus good people run time
People know that I can run. But I want to go out there and run a good time just to show them that I can run (well) on a consistent basis, so that's what my focus has been.
box eight line men roll safety teams throw
We want to run, but if teams are going to put eight men in the box and roll the safety down to the line of scrimmage, we can throw it, too.
running split time
Obviously, I'm a running back and I wanted to play running back and they had different plans, which is fine. It was just time to split ways.
feels felt foot glad obviously performed productive rides today ton
Obviously a lot rides on today and I think I performed the way I should have performed, I'm glad it's over now. I felt a ton better. My foot feels fine. And I think today was a pretty productive day.
time
It was time for me to make that jump.
broke caught defense fast florida fourth outside ran somebody third yard zone
It was the third or fourth play of the game. We ran a zone play up the middle. I broke outside and somebody caught me at about the 9 yard line. Florida State's defense is fast - they can all run.
focus good lost
They are a good team, but we couldn't make the big plays. We lost focus and we couldn't produce.
expect games involved known per points required score scoring tried
Actually, when I transferred here, I didn't expect to be involved in so many shootouts. Obviously, Wisconsin's not really known for scoring 40 points per game. But some games have required us to score as many points as possible, so that's what we've tried to do.
