Notre Dame junior linebacker Brian Smith answered the five questions this week. I replaced the question about what a player would put most of his energy into if he wasn't playing football with who do you hang out with the most on the team?
Let me know if you want the replaced question to return, who you want to answer the questions and if you have a suggestion for what I should ask the athletes let me know by e-mail at tkrausz@jg.net.
Now onto Smith's answers:
Q: If you could trade places with one of your teammates, which one would you trade places with?
A: I would want to trade places with probably (receiver) Golden Tate. It seems like every time the ball goes up, he is the one to get it. Just to have that kind of speed, I want to feel what it is like to run that fast.
Q: What do you do better than anybody else on your team?
A: I don't let people get in my head, and that's with anything. A lot of guys will talk trash on the field and playing video games or whatever. I'm pretty good at staying calm and relaxed.
Q: If you could have superpower, what superpower would you want?
A: I want super-human strength. As a linebacker, I could just blow up everything.
Q: Who do you hang out with the most on the team? A: Probably, (halfback) Armando Allen. We are always together. We hang out together and work on the field together between periods. It's kind of fun because he's a running back and I'm a linebacker, and we are always after each other's heads. We actually got into a little skirmish on the first day of pads, but right after, we went up to each smiled and shook hands. It is just the kind of relationship that we have.
Q: What is one thing that people should know about you that they don't?
