I hadn't really been getting to play a whole lot. Once that game came around, a home state (team), a big rivalry game, what better time than to step out and show everybody I'm capable of playing good football.
came game good plays stay
(After the game) I thought I was really out of place on a lot of plays, but really it just came down to one or two plays I was out of position. Other than that, you have a good game if you stay in position.
