A.J. and Bennie just ran like madmen. Golly. We knew we had that all the time, but it sure was good to finally see it.

He kind of fell into our lap. He moved down here and started calling the school asking if there was an opening, and we had one. It's good for us because you don't get lacrosse people falling in your lap.

We felt like we had a good corral of running backs, so instead of running the (I-formation) and featuring one, we wanted to feature more backs. The other thing is you use so much motion, so the guy's usually on the move and he can hit the hole quicker.

I didn't want that. I wanted a group of other veterans I could talk to or maybe a military doctor who was there (Iraq) who can help me out or something.
