My back was all torn up. I don't think I even practiced until Thursday. That was the closest. It wasn't much of a streak then. It was only three or four games then.

I think any time you take a position like here at Florida, there's pressure on you. There's pressure on me, there's pressure on (quarterback) Chris (Leak). There's pressure on all of us. We have to produce.

coach demands fair reward trade
We think coach Meyer is going to be the future. What he demands from us is a lot of responsibility, a lot of time. What he's going to reward us with is a lot of wins. That's a fair trade in my book.

I deal with it. This is a physical game and I play a physical position.
