Q&A with Cedric Benson

On his last game:
Going into my last game is exciting. I'm looking forward to it. It would be nice with it being a rivalry game if we could go undefeated against A&M. It would be big. I'm just enjoying the last time. I'm going to try and block it out and just go out there and play. We need to go out and get a victory.

On having good games during his career against A&M:
Maybe it is because we have a week off before we play them. I'll be looking to have a big game. It is the last showdown in my home stadium, so I'll just put it all out there.

On his position in the Heisman Trophy race:
I can't be thinking about that kind of stuff going into a football game because there are a lot of things that require your mental game. So, I just stay focused on the game and let it work itself out.

On A&M's improvement:
I don't think they are too much different other than having more experience. They've been playing together for two or three years now and they look good.

On the benefits of a bye week:
It gives your body a chance to rest. You feel a lot better than you would if you played the week before. It benefits you both mentally and physically.

On being involved with various national awards:
It means a lot. It is a great honor to be passing all of those Heisman Trophy winners on the all-time lists. It is awesome to know you are going to go down as one of the great backs and it is nice to see that hard work pays off.
