They look at me as an individual player. What am I doing on a run play? Am I blocking for the running back? What am I doing at safety? Am I just jogging up to the play?

As much as everyone wants to play as much as possible, the real goal of the season is to win as many games as possible.

Our post players just didn't come to play that game. We gave up like eight dunks or something.

Last year, I came in as a freshman just hoping to play and I had a good season. This year, I know that everyone expects me to do certain things, but I try not to think about it. I just go out there with a fresh mind and hopefully have a good game day by day.

We play teams that we won't usually play. And, the level of play really benefits our program.

If you play with a guy for seven or eight years, you know his tendencies. You know what he's going to do next without thinking about it. It helps you play with a lot more confidence.
