Now that I'm more comfortable with the offense, I should be able to play more freely. Last year was a real learning process. Now it's time to show what I can do.

I feel A.J. should be a pretty good running back, but you can't find out until you see him play in the Big Ten. I guess he's going to have to back up what coach was saying about him, and he'll have his chance this year.
