It's a knee, for one. I'm a running back, two. You have to be smart, three.

Thomas was running the ball well. I didn't get much of a chance.

[Benson, a senior, made his final statement on Thursday: 168 yards, one touchdown and a victory lap around the field at Royal-Memorial Stadium.] That was spontaneous, ... I thought I'd take one last go-round, get a good look at everything. It was my last game.

We haven't won the games we wanted to win. I thought maybe if I put baseball aside and focus on football, I can get us a step closer to where we want to be.

I'm kind of glad I got the fumble thing out of the way. Hopefully, that won't come back up the rest of the season.

It's a change, definitely, a different situation,
