He's a more patient runner now. Now, he lets things open up and then he hits them. Before he waited too long. Now, he hits them exactly when he's supposed to hit them. He has made great improvement, even from last year to this. He will be a big part of this offense this year.

People picked us to go sixth in the Big Ten, ... People said we should be happy with six or seven wins. Now we're on top of the Big Ten right now.
