I got out of my focus and tried to make a statement and that was really poor leadership on my part. I apologized to the team for that, and it's not going to happen again.
I guess I'm the best running back, at least this year. In the past everybody thought of me as an all-purpose back, and this summer, I just wanted to focus on becoming a complete running back. First and foremost, I would like to be known as a great running back. It's a great honor to win that award.
I think I'm overdue for a punt return. We wanted to really focus on putting fear back in people's hearts of kicking deep to us.
I'm still on West Coast time. So maybe I have a little jet lag or just up to this point for me I haven't really worked on, like, my 40 time. I haven't done too much focusing in that area, as opposed to just trying to gain weight and get bigger and stronger. And now this month I'll focus on my 40 time a little bit more than I have in the last month.
My pastor at church told me that what's going on now is similar to a horse race. The horses come out of the gate with blinders on. The reason they do this is so they don't get distracted. Well, that's how I am with this. I'm focused on what is ahead.
We can't worry about the possible history that's going to play into this game. We've got to take it as another football game. ... We've got to focus on this game, not get caught up in the hype. We've got to focus on this team and this team alone.
I would like to be known first and foremost as a running back. Over this summer, I really tried to focus on becoming a complete running back and just showing everybody I can run between the tackles, around the tackles. I can do it all.
The special thing about our team is everybody's able to put their egos aside and focus on the team.
That just means that the Texans get the first pick, and that's it. There's no real emotion that played into it. Like I said, I'm not even focused on what's going on with the NFL right now. We need to be worried about what's going on with this game and winning the national championship.
I try to focus on practice. This is work time. This is where we work, this is our office. I try not to let it distract me too much.
This shows this is a great program. Coach Carroll has brought this program back up to where it used to be. USC was down for a while, but Coach brought us back and today speaks for itself. We're definitely on our way to qualifying as a dynasty.
When you join the NFL, you start from scratch. As long as I've been playing - which has been since I was eight years old - the game becomes harder at every level. Little league, high school, college - they're different stages you have to go through, and professional sport is completely different again.
We just know if we play to the end, we'll find a way to win. We always do.
This year, I haven't had many opportunities. They've sky punted me. They've pinned me on the sidelines. Most of the time, they kick it high and short.
