I wasn t nervous, but I had to hold back the tears. It s an awesome feeling, and it keeps coming back every time I step onto that field. On his first carry for Georgia, against Arkansas State, Wall ran for 15 yards.  I went crazy; it all seemed to fit into the right place. What s more by the end of the season he had eared a place as a starter. <br>When asked what differences there are between Division IIand Division I football, Wall replied,  Number one, the crowd - there s usually around 80,000 fans here every home game, and at Southwest Baptist we were lucky to see maybe 2,000. The fans back the University a hundred percent - we have the best fans in the ntion. Also, you have to put a lot more time and effort playing at Division I. There are more practices, tougher practices and you have to fight for your job every day. But Wall is up to the challenge.<br> J. T. is as tough as anyone I ve ever coached, and his attitude is phenomenal, says Van Halanger, who has trained 47 athletes who went on to the NFL and believes Wall has the mindset and physical talent to reach that level.  J. T. set strong goals for himself. One of those goals was to bench 500 pounds, and he achieved that; he wanted to get a scholarship at the University of Georgia, and he earned it; he wanted to start, and he started. J. T. does a heck of a job, and we re very proud of him. <br>Whereas Wall was a frequent ball carrier in high school and at Southwest Baptist, at Georgia is most aluable asset is his ability to block.  J. T. is used more as a blocking back, says Van Halanger.  He s going to block for our tailbacks, and at 253 pounds that s what J. T. does so well - to be able to put his body on a linebacker and knck him back. For example, J. T. was really instrumental in the games where Verron Haynes gained 197 yards against Mississippi and 200-plus yards against Georgia Tech, our biggest rival, because J. T. continued too
