You can't prepare for the kind of speed they have. We try to simulate it in practice when we go (starters against starters), but you can't duplicate that speed and athleticism. We just have to come out quickly and play fast from the first snap to match them.

I haven't given it any thought this week at all.

I know Florida State is probably as fast as anyone in the country. I've played against some of the better teams with a lot of overall speed, like Oklahoma, Kansas State and USC. And I definitely think North Carolina will be similar.

I really think their game plan was to slow me down and stop me and they did a good job of that. But obviously, they took the (fall) when J.O. had over 100 yards receiving and Brandon Williams had a great game, too.

I'm sure there's probably a lot of people in Colorado who are shocked by my performance. I didn't have a lot of support out there as a running back and I just wanted to prove that I'm a running back and that I can carry 30 or 40 times a game.

I'm doing everything (at the combine), so hopefully I can have some good results and possibly sneak into the first (round). The higher the better.

I'm not going to worry about that right now. I just enjoy this win with my teammates and I'll worry about that tomorrow.

I'm not really worried about it, but at the same time, I do have to perform better because there is no third chance. So there will be a little more pressure, but I think I'll be fine.

It was pretty back-and-forth. Up until probably the last minute. I just felt like, I don't know if my value could be any higher than this year, the way I finished off, than it could next year. Obviously there are a lot of good running backs in this class, but I feel like I'm just as good as any of them.

Everyone knows I'm not slow. I don't run times that slow.
