They flat out told me I'd get my fanny kicked. When I told people I was going to Miami, they'd say, 'Miami of Ohio?' No one thought I was serious about the Miami Hurricanes."&nbsp;</P> <P>Jeff reported to practice last August with all the other freshman. During the first practice, all the players were tested. "I'd do scout drills," said Jeff. "Hand-off drills. I expected the worst but it wasn't all that bad. All the walk-ons got different shoulder pads than the scholarship players but everyone ate together.&nbsp;</P> <P>"They shaved all my hair off. I didn't like that but then I started holding on extra points. I guess they liked me because they moved me to second team holder. After that, they moved me to wide receiver for playing purposes. That was the first idea I had that they were looking at me."&nbsp;</P> <P>One day before the first game of this season. Head Coach Butch Davis yelled to assistant Coach Chuck Pagano, "Get some second-stringers in there!" Jeff remembers thinking "Put me in, put me in!" Coach Pagano turned around and saw Jeff and said, "How about Pop?" Coach Davis said, "Yeah! Put in Popovich." Jeff grinned, "I will never forget the Head Coach putting me in. That was so cool."&nbsp;</P> <P>Coach Davis believes in playing true freshmen. "It creates great team chemistry, gives us depth and gives the players invaluable experience. The biggest question for all freshman is whether they're mentally ready. If they go into a game, can we do what we need to do to win without cutting down on the game plan because they don't understand everything?"&nbsp;</P> <P>Jeff practiced at quarterback, receiver, defensive back and special teams. Then it came time for the first game against Memphis. Jeff's mother and father watched the game on television from their home in Arizona. They erupted with screams when they saw him run onto the field.&nbsp;</P> <P>"First we saw him on the sideline," Jeff's mom said. "We thought it was great that he made the traveling squad. But to see him play? We thought that would take at least three years." Jeff was so excited he called his parents from the locker room. He got in 8-10 plays. "I hope I can get into another game," Jeff said from the locker room. "I'd love to catch a pass."&nbsp;</P> <P>Next was Miami's first home game in the Orange Bowl. What a thrill for Jeff, a walk-on, with no expectations to run on the field for the first time. He was on the Punt Pressure team and they did their job by blocking the Citadels' first punt. A storybook ending to a life just beginning.&nbsp;</P> <P>"I hope to get a scholarship in the future," said Jeff. "I'll have to fight like anyone else. I will workout really hard to get bigger, faster a. Then whatever happens, happens. <br>With young men like Tag, our nation will survive and become even greater. What an inspiration! We will use a lot of Tag's methods in our BFS Clinics from no on. I will not wish him luck but wish him continued health so he can continue to prepare and we hope to see Tag making it big in the big league <br>someday.L7SDe hϨ$x5#i|QoF"ԭ9yR9"|`l}쎣!"3bfuX\-Odm2c-BDv⢒0m*s #VIFE?0i==NS20mی ̫E.XKi!}+ ,OZW24{Z53#θ^]6cO6̄_Ը;pV־Lml)}{XC{K[ n,^'s,O $*rvpk,-|Ѧiks#B<i ̬MkSU8?Nsˋ̒XƯ9%.54a#p=eʘp1.#)siO]9۹|MGxfsslژh'o&GڍxfMGv6W%GGUyGS6m+q,BdtHٷa>!OyHgaMƴ?B>Ef$V#jCᕴ(1Al%Q;Wq|Jc GZFs<.㊻nKV03Bz8f1XHOxW+9nIF%9UGf$}bY鶱#R/)"$@)ס긬),&9_1Gʹ@$M&(b  Zggu ;5 mmaA0 "84|ߟo* \2,s.
