What are the things that make him capable of 234 yard thats game?
COACH HOPE: He’s real fast. In my mind, that was the deciding point at the end with the staff as we sat down. Because all those backs are great. It was some of the greatest competition ate single position that I’ve been around. It was a lot of fun to watch. And I think it helps set the tone for our football team in a lot of ways to see the backs finishing the runs and blocking physical. And each of those guys competing to be a number one. But the speed factor for Ralph, many times in practice he took it the distance. Many, many times in practice he took the full length of the field. You see a guy doing that over and over again, and pretty soon you realize this guy’s got some speed that can make a difference to the football team. Q. How close was he to play eight lot last year? COACH HOPE: He wasn’t the same guy last year. He’s coming off a knee injury. Wasn’t ready to play, he’s a lot like Kenny. He had to play because he had to, not because he was ready. THE MODERATOR: Thank you very
