I remember watching that national championship game (against Kansas) at my home. He was running the team then like he's running it now. To guard him is an honor.

There is no other feeling ... you can't describe it, because we accomplished things that a lot of people have never accomplished before. We won eight in a row in the Big 12. That's unbelievable. It's a blessing.

I was surprised, because I thought it was a two-shot foul because they called it when he was going up, but they called it a one-and-one.

He's the best running back in the league. But every week we've had to face great backs. Every week we've been tested and this will probably be the biggest test for us. He's really elusive and can hit the home run. That's how it is with him. When he touches the ball, he can take it the distance.

Memphis is athletic and good, but if you can keep them from running you can hang around. If you let them drive into the heart of the defense, they will be hard to beat.

I saw some good signs that we can be a good running team. Who knows? If we hit some home runs, we could be a great running team.
