Because I boxed and worked out so much, it kind of deadened the pain of sitting out that year. |
Every time you turn on ESPN, you see Maurice Drew scoring touchdowns. You can't help but follow them. |
Happy with what I did and happy it's over. We'll just have to see where it goes from here. |
He bulked up and he got faster. I think he's a lot more explosive. |
He said it was fun? I can't say it was fun. |
He's just a freak athlete. I mean, the things that he can do, no other running back can. He can just stop and go. And also, he's a good guy off the field, too. He's just an all-around great guy. |
I don?t think it will take a year for me to get on the field. I have confidence in my athletic ability, and I will get on the field next year. The draft is only the beginning for me. |
I like telling my side of the story. |
I thought from the beginning of the season that we could be a talented line. I think that when you actually like the guy playing next to you, it helps out during the game. I've played on lines when it's different. Now you want to play well for the guy next to you. |
I wouldn't mind if they lost. I don't care if they lose. Since you go to USC, you have a natural hatred for UCLA, just like they have a natural hatred for us. That's how it is. |
I'm always going to be sorry about it. But it's in the past. I'm trying to live day by day to show people that I am a good-character guy. |
If just feels like we can't lose with him. He's just so poised. When other quarterbacks would probably freeze up, Matt doesn't freeze up. |
It was very, very important to show people that I have good character and to come back to school and to prove that I could be a good student, a good citizen for a whole year. And to have a good season. And I think that I accomplished that. |
It's not that difficult. I like telling my side of the story. . . . I think I've grown from that. |
It's well deserved, he's a fifth-year senior. I think it's time for him to step up. He's an excellent player, I have faith in him, and I think everyone else does too. |
