“It’s an honor. To be honest, I never thought that I would be a candidate for the Heisman, but now that it’s here, I will work hard to push forward. It’s not really my priority. My team comes first, but if it does happen, it would be an honor.”

“It’s 100 percent, I’m good. I’ve been doing shoulder work. On certain lifting days, I tend to go heavier than other people to make sure the shoulder is back to regular strength.”

“This year I feel like I have a lot more to contribute and offer to the team. I just want to lead by example, show everybody that I come out every day to work so people will feed off my energy. And eventually, the team is going to come together more as a unit, and I think we'll just be a lot more successful than last year.”

“I just wanted to come here and try to help the program turn around. I didn't know that it was going to be this big of an impact this soon.”

“I ran the ball, but that's what I do. That's my job.”

“It’s always good to know you're breaking records and being good as a freshman. I'm just doing it for the team and for the seniors who are about to graduate. I have to give a lot of credit to my linemen. They were busting their [butts] today, making holes and knocking people off the ball. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have been able to do what I did today.”

“I have to be honest, I thought I would get a little playing time, but I didn’t expect to start.”

“It’s good and all to have that record, but I still have a lot of room for improvement. I can work on getting downhill, getting more physical, getting my reads better. I did expect to make an impact this year, but I didn’t know how big of an impact it was going to be. I came in knowing that I was trying to make an impact. The offensive line does its thing every week, every practice. They’re trained to do what they do, and I just read what they do.”
