This is a big thing for the (school) community, the town everybody.

I just think it's destiny. God looks out for good people. Jerome is a good citizen, and he's a benevolent person in the community. It's destiny for him to start in Detroit and end in Detroit.

In his first game, he ran 120 yards and two touchdowns, and 180 yards and two touchdowns in the next game. Then, he said, 'Coach, I like this.

I'm just so happy for Jerome, and I'm happy for Mackenzie. I feel it won't end when he parks the bus in Detroit. I think he's going to win it.

When there was that situation with that fumble (late in the playoff win over Indianapolis) that was rectified by that tackle, that proved that it his destiny to win this game.
