Going to see those cancer patients, that's a real humbling experience and it's taken a toll on me these past few days. It's made me appreciate life a little more. Now I'm trying to make every day count, every minute count. I'm showing everyone else that I really care. Everybody I see walking by, I'm just saying hello to them because I'm happy. |
I can't imagine South Florida without Leavitt. South Florida wouldn't be the same. Everybody else can leave. Leavitt has to stay. |
I can't lie to you. I wanted to size him up, see how tall he was, how much he really weighed. I just wanted to get my own view of him. |
I have to keep improving myself. That's why I'm out here busting my butt. |
I think I almost wet my pants. I got stuck to the seat in (the car). My legs became paralyzed and I couldn't move my legs for nothing. Man, I just want to go again. |
I'll be a piece of meat right now. So long as they put me on their table. |
I'm getting some education here and good coaching. I'm around some good athletes. |
I'm happy that we came. But we lost. |
I'm leaving the team in good hands. Coach Leavitt and the rest of the coaching staff will take over and do what they have to do. I know that they will be back [to a bowl game]. I won't be surprised if they are in a BCS bowl. |
I've done everything I can. I'm excited, but now I'm getting upset. I know I'm going to be upset because I'm not the first running back taken. That already has me mad. I know a lot of dudes will go before me that I know I'm better than. |
It showed that it doesn't matter where you come from. It's how you come. It's performance that counts. |
It was a great experience, a humbling experience. Most of the reporters there wanted to talk to other players, and I needed a little of that. |
Mr. Townsend? Is dinner this Thursday at 5:30 fine with you? |
That Mario guy is an animal. He was a man among boys that day. |
The crowd doesn't matter. We were in Happy Valley (in a season-opening 23-13 road loss to Penn State) and we took it. |
