They're challenging me out here. They're killing me. People think I'm joking, but I usually do better against a Notre Dame than I do a Rice. For some reason, that's the way it is, but it shouldn't be like that. Springs is coming off an 11-month run that saw him deal first with a sprained ankle at midseason last year, a broken shoulder blade in the Citrus Bowl and a shoulder sprain in preseason camp.
Injuries are all mental anyway.
So I'm capable of doing it. The son of former Ohio State star and ex-Dallas Cowboys running back Ron Springs, Shawn has been carrying the weight of great expectations since his first day on a football field. On top of that is the constant talk that he is going pro after this, his junior season. But you don't let it bother you. You just can't overlook college.
