I kind of fell short of what I wanted to do. I wanted to have 200 yards in the first game. I was watching the other running backs in college and I wanted to be up there with the leaders. That was a pretty good game for me, though.

I think the ball will be all over the place this year, ... We have a lot more speed at the receiver spot. And Brian's getting everyone in the right position and right spot, he knows what's going on on the field, like a general.

Against Kentucky, we did a lot of basic things. Now, we've learned so much, I think we're ready to open up the playbook a little bit. You only saw a small portion.

I'm just real sore, ... I wasn't paying attention to how many carries I have. I'm glad they put it on my shoulders to do what I did.

People here, they get a pair of socks, a new pair of underwear, and they cry. They start weeping over the simplest thing, that we take for granted, because they're absolutely devastated. They've lost everything, ... Being able to meet such a simple need and to see the gratitude on their faces is the greatest reward you can ever have.

I didn't think we were capable of so much and it was fun at times.

Right now, it's about getting our respect back. It's a shock, but if you stay upset about the loss, then everything we've got ahead of us is going to go right out the door with it.

I was a little surprised. You can't fault Kentucky. They came up with the big plays. They stuck it to us.

He's good now; people don't know, ... He's as fast as I've seen in a while. I expect a lot of people are sleeping on him, but he's going to do some things to surprise you.
