Chris Harrell Sure Quotations

Going into it there were a lot of jitters. They weren't the type of nerves in that I wasn't confident, but I was nervous about having contact and being in the flow and making sure I picked up right after I left off, ... But after the first few tackles, I got a little more confident and got that attitude back.

Early on it was very tough for me, especially emotionally, ... There were a lot of tears. I wasn't sure if football was still the game that I should be playing after a neck injury.

Sometimes, when I go back home, they don't see us as much of a threat. I always take that as an insult. I come back, and I make sure to tell my teammates about that.

That's why we're trying to be leaders and make sure that it doesn't happen the way it did the last bowl game where all of the seniors left and all the older guys went to the NFL. They didn't let the young guys know how important it was to keep this thing going.

They're gonna make some athletic plays, and that's gonna be a challenge. Just making sure that once they catch the ball, they're coming down, that'll be the biggest deal.
