At USC, if you’re running back there, and you do gain you over 1,500 yards, people see you as a candidate, but not one of the top ones.

That’s the thing about fear. Death will kill you once, but fear kills you over and over and over, if you let it.

But Barry, to me, is head and shoulders above everybody.

It really lasted the whole game, because I was really untouchable, unstoppable that game. But it was heightened on one particular play, and that was the longest run where everything completely slowed down. My awareness...
