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.
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.
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.
became corner great job line offensive productive running safety
It wasn't just me. The offensive line did a great job today. Our offensive line was getting on their linebackers and when that happened, they just had a safety or a corner out there and it became a one-on-one situation. That's why we were so productive running the ball.
great running top
(Irons is) a great running back, and if he makes a big play in the game, I'm going to try to top it but it's not like I am going to try to be better than he is or anything like that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
good match understand
It'd be good to match up with him. But I understand it, and that's how it is.
