“I think people think it’s so dramatically different every day, and day by day, it’s not,” he says. “I wake up, I come in, I’m on the practice field sweating. I’m not thinking about where I’m at and how big the university is, or the stadium. Even during games, you don’t think of that. That only hits me one time of year, and that’s when I watch the playoffs or the big bowl games and you see those guys on that level and the chess match going on and that stuff. That’s about the only time I ever really think about it.”
