But at a university like this, with the things we do as athletes, you have to have five years. I was on a five-year plan from the start. I take that responsibility, and I will come back and get that degree. Take Bryant at his word, too, because what he does in a classroom has always been as important to him as what he does on the playing field. In football, if you play within yourself, if you go out there and do the proper things, play the proper techniques, know where you re suppose to be at all times, and if you fight and scratch, the game will take care of itself.
School is a whole different thing.
You have to study and it s hard mentally. It was not that hard to deliberate over coming back. I felt like last season that I made some strides. Especially going to the level where I want to be going. The numbers don t tell the whole story about Bryant s presence and promise.
