I play on pure instincts. I remember being surrounded by three guys getting ready to tackle me, and I saw one of my teammates off to the right by himself, and I tried to pitch the ball to him. That's the type of player I am. I play fearless and I'm willing to score at all costs. I feel like if I would have made the pitch and we'd scored, it would have been the greatest play in college history.
I haven't directly asked them that question. They haven't really told me anything directly other than the fact that they're excited for this upcoming draft and that they're excited for me to be a Texan.
I'm taking this whole experience in and just enjoying being back here, playing for the national championship in Los Angeles. It isn't getting sweeter than that.
I'm not too disappointed. It is the nature of the beast.
I'm not worried about anything the Texas defense brings to the table. We'll see when we get in the game whether Texas can adjust. . . . If we play like we know how and do everything right we possibly can, there's no chance of us losing.
I like to think of myself as an every-down back. That's something I want to emphasize to the teams, whatever team that takes me, that I can be an every-down back, even though I'm not the biggest guy. I'm not 220 pounds, but I can still carry the load and be in there when the game's on the line. Obviously, I want the ball in my hands. I'm a playmaker.

I'm a sports fan. I'm not just an athlete who plays football.
This is like everybody is playing high-stakes poker. Everyone has their sunglasses on (and) ... you can't control it. You have to trust the organization to make the decision based on who they feel will most help the team.
If I could sum it up in one word: complex. It's all about putting people in position to create mismatches for the defense. It's very difficult for defenses to single out one person.
I felt this was the right time for me. If they (Texans) were to pick me, I wouldn't have a problem playing there. I'm excited about going to the next level and proving myself.
I'd hope he is. I think he trusts me in my decisions and the type of person I am, and the decisions I make on and off the football field. I think it was important he heard it from my mouth.
I can't wait to get out on the football field. The seasons go by so quick and it seems like waiting for the draft and the process takes forever. I want to get back to playing football; all of us do. There's no spring ball because we're all going to the draft ... we're ready to get back to some football.
He's a playmaker and big time players step it up in big time games and he definitely stood up.
