That's a given. I'm a rookie, the only rookie on the starting defense. It's expected for them to come after me. I've just got to be prepared this week and minimize mistakes.
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.
Everybody in my family wants to come to that game. It ain't happening. I can't do it. If I got everybody tickets that have called me these last two weeks I'd be buying 75 tickets. I can't do it.
We had more riding on this game and it showed.
It probably had a little bit to do with both. Early on, I was out of position.
Most definitely it's going to be pretty high for me going there. And Georgia is going to be playing the next day (in the Sugar Bowl). Everybody from my school is going to be in Atlanta on that day. I'm really looking forward to playing.
We may have caught them by surprise the first time. We know they're going to be a lot more focused to what's going on. They're going to be ready for us, so we have to play that much harder.
The last game I was just watching this guy. You know how good he is, how amazing of a player he is. You really don't know until you line up against him how it's going to be. I had a chance to get the jitters out that first game. If I get the opportunity again, I'm looking forward to really letting loose to see what I can do against him.
I hope this is it. But who knows?
