From today's presser ...
Quote:
"The Jack Tatum hit of the week was administered by Santonio Holmes. On the little Statute of Liberty play that Antonio Pittman gained about 15 or so on and Santonio is assigned to crack and he cracked and very legal, very hard, and very fitting for the Jack Tatum hit of the week. It was a physical play."
...
REPORTER: Talk about Santonio's intangibles. I know production-wise he's always been there, but seems like he's got an energy or competitiveness that kind of transcends the other --
TRESSEL: Santonio grew up with expectations that you win every time you compete, whether it's in a race or a baseball game or a football game or a conference championship or whatever, when you go to Glades Central and you're not the state champ, you had a bad year. That's just what he was raised with and brought that here and added that to our football team in 2002 and you talk about all the little things that piled up to have a great 2002, Santonio Holmes' competitiveness and expectations and all that against our defense every day is huge. And he's carried it on now that he's been the guy we go to and we constantly look for ways to get the ball in his hands so that he can make things happen and I think he gives the rest of the offensive group some energy and the return units energy and you know, that's why he's a special player.
REPORTER: Do you remember having to sell him on blocking or was he already sold on that?
TRESSEL: Santonio got the Jack Tatum hit of the week.
REPORTER: I know, I'm saying --
TRESSEL: No, you don't have to sell him on blocking. I have to sell him sometimes you can't hold. Because he brought back a couple runs -- two -- that's a couple.
