It's a knee, for one. I'm a running back, two. You have to be smart, three.
Cedric Benson -
I think Vince helped us out a lot. The defense has to be very leery of his attacking ability. When he was in the game, it seemed like the defense played a little loose.

I don’t think I’ve said this on camera, (but Ricky Williams) is the largest part of why I chose to come play for UT
Cedric Benson -
It kind of sets the stage for the next season.
Cedric Benson -
Maybe I'm motivating him. My motivation is entirely coming from being a rookie and being hungry to be out there and be the guy and stuff. I think my game and my presence are motivating him quite a bit, and he's stepped his game up a lot because he looked good today.
Cedric Benson -
It's another hurdle, another adventure life has presented me, and I'm going to take it in stride.
Cedric Benson -
I'll see what kind of feedback I get, but after the first two plays of contact, I forgot about it. It isn't 100 percent completely healed, but it's not bad enough to slow me down. I should be a lot further along in a couple of weeks, come playoff time.
Cedric Benson -
I got it all down, ... I think just being off, it fades away a little bit. But it all comes back.
Cedric Benson
-
I kind of knew I wasn't going to get in there in the first half, ... I was glad I did finally get in there. Toward the end I was getting a little nervous? 'Oh, I hope I get a chance to work these kinks out.'
Cedric Benson -
Thomas was running the ball well. I didn't get much of a chance.
Cedric Benson -
I don't know. I guess it wasn't my day. I'm not making the calls. The coaches are. Just stay positive and leave it in their hands.
Cedric Benson -
I'll give him a run for his money.
Cedric Benson -
They just keep saying I need to know the playbook, but if I'm never out there it would be hard to know how much I do know, ... My time is going to come. They're going to throw me out there in the fire and I've got to perform.
Cedric Benson -
I don't think this team realized how good we are, ... I think we are one of the top three teams in the country, I really do.
Cedric Benson
-
As a competitor, you want to be out there, making something happen, especially when the team is losing. But my time will come.
Cedric Benson -
I can only control what I do and my preparation for the game. I can't control who they want, so I have really made a point of not getting emotionally involved in the situation.
Cedric Benson -
That was spontaneous. I thought I'd take one last go-round, get a good look at everything. It was my last game.
Cedric Benson -
I definitely want to be a starter. I have no desire to sit with the coaches on the sidelines. So I'm going to be working toward making that happen
Cedric Benson -
I'm going to stay positive and get better
Cedric Benson -
I'm kind of glad I got the fumble thing out of the way. Hopefully, that won't come back up the rest of the season.
Cedric Benson
-
We haven't won the games we wanted to win. I thought maybe if I put baseball aside and focus on football, I can get us a step closer to where we want to be.
Cedric Benson -
I knew my time was going to come, I just had to be ready when it came. It does say something for the coaches and what they think of me.
Cedric Benson -
Um, I don't know. I just hope I can help us go get our first win of the season. I don't think it matters who we're playing.
Cedric Benson -
The end came off the edge and I missed an assignment there. I didn't get my guy.
