My job is to stop the run. Our goal, believe it or not, was to hold (Mon Williams) to zero or negative yards.

The new coaching staff seemed like they're ready to renovate. They said I was too good for (junior college). I saw the spring game, and they looked like they were motivated.

It wasn't a hard choice. They look at people that graduate from Rice.

We just forget about it and play the next play. We don't worry about it.

Two things can happen. We can make the playoffs and beat our cross-town rivals.

It's been fun and a lot of hard work, but I've been glad with the outcome. I always said our senior year we'd be good. We're trying to do more than make the playoffs. That was our expectations at the beginning of the season.
