backs felt finished good higher last next obviously running until value
It was pretty back-and-forth. Up until probably the last minute. I just felt like, I don't know if my value could be any higher than this year, the way I finished off, than it could next year. Obviously there are a lot of good running backs in this class, but I feel like I'm just as good as any of them.
good higher hopefully possibly results sneak
I'm doing everything (at the combine), so hopefully I can have some good results and possibly sneak into the first (round). The higher the better.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
