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.
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.
given week
I haven't given it any thought this week at all.
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.
carry colorado people prove running shocked support sure
I'm sure there's probably a lot of people in Colorado who are shocked by my performance. I didn't have a lot of support out there as a running back and I just wanted to prove that I'm a running back and that I can carry 30 or 40 times a game.
perform third worried
I'm not really worried about it, but at the same time, I do have to perform better because there is no third chance. So there will be a little more pressure, but I think I'll be fine.
enjoy teammates win worry
I'm not going to worry about that right now. I just enjoy this win with my teammates and I'll worry about that tomorrow.
game good great job plan receiving slow stop took williams yards
I really think their game plan was to slow me down and stop me and they did a good job of that. But obviously, they took the (fall) when J.O. had over 100 yards receiving and Brandon Williams had a great game, too.
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.
ahead backs choice competition everybody good guy looking respect running understand work
It's always good just for competition, but there's a lot of good running backs that are here and are going to work out, and I know everybody is looking at the guy ahead of him to see what he does and that's going to be no different for me. I understand that he's not working out, but that's his choice and I respect that.
focus good lost
They are a good team, but we couldn't make the big plays. We lost focus and we couldn't produce.
knows run
Everyone knows I'm not slow. I don't run times that slow.
absolutely asked degree heard people
Absolutely not. It's not even a question. I've heard it (rumored) and people have asked me about it. But I'm here to get my degree - I'm going to be here for two years.
