To have the all-time winning percentage for college football, you have to have players that are your best players. Also, theyve got to be your best workers. Hes one of clearly our best workers in practice. So he sets a high bar, Kelly said.Adams was expected to compete last season with fellow freshman Dexter Williams for playing time as the No. 4 running back.

He failed to see a linebacker rushing in unblocked against the Spartans, leading to Kizer being sacked.Adams also is working on trying to break through the first tackle.Not getting tackled by one man is something you definitely have to pride yourself in in being a running back, he said. A running back makes a play out of nothing, so I definitely have to do a better job of that. ' ' '
