I think that when he had his day down here (in Iowa City), he proved to everybody what he has. I see the guy run every day. I know he can run. I think when the scouts came here, they saw what they thought they knew - that this guy can run.

That's the way college football is. They come and they go. You have to learn to live without them. It's nice if you have guys behind them. They know what they're doing. Now will they be as good as those other guys? That's the question.

It's fun. If I (ever) think, 'Oh God, I've got to go to work today,' I'd hang it up. Being involved with young kids, I think it definitely (does do) something for you. I'd rather do that than go play bingo or something.

It's been easier because of standing up. Last year, I couldn't stand up. Last year was hard there at the beginning. This is a lot better.
