Freshman tailback Emmanuel Moody said he got off to an extremely rough start in training camp because of fumbling. Moody said he realized he was in the doghouse one day because of fumbles.
“That was one of the most stressful days of my life,” Moody said. “I just realized I had to follow the No. 1 rule, `protect the football.’ I had to focus. It happened in one day.
“I changed the way I focused. I decided to focus on one thing at a time and fumbling is on my mind constantly.”
Moody not stopped fumbling in camp, he gained 128 yards and scored two TDs in nine carries on August 17.
“I felt like that was the climax for me,” Moody said. “I had to have a big night. I knew that going in.”
