A little section:
Choice picks up bonus points for his team-first attitude. Last week, he rushed for 110 yards in the first quarter against overmatched Samford, including a career-best 73-yard touchdown.
At that point, Gailey was a bit torn. He knew that Choice could bolster his individual stats by staying in the game a little longer. Halftime, perhaps. But the coach knew it was more important to get some younger players on the field and eliminate the risk of Choice sustaining a needless injury.
When Gailey went over to break the news, he didn't even get a chance to give his reasons to Choice.
"I was going to say that I was all for the individual type of awards and things like that," Gailey related, "but he stopped me and said, 'Coach, we're trying to win a championship. It's not about me and my yards and all of that stuff. You do what you think we have to do to win a championship."'
