*** On his relationship with David Bailey, AJ Dillon says he's like a little brother. Bailey was thrust into playing time last year. Came in focused this year and ready to be a leader making plays.

*** Bailey "could be playing anywhere", and Dillon seemed surprised he was even playing in front of him. Pointed to Levy, Garwo, etc., "I feel like that goes under the radar sometimes".

*** Bailey has "been like a sponge" and rewarded with more carries as the season goes on. Trying to teach him what he can while he can. Has a great attitude, same mindset. All of them want to compete and win so whether it's 7 carries or 20 carries, he'll do his best.

*** Dillon's first impression when he committed, he remembers some of the bigger commitments the coaches get excited. He looked at his hudl and got excited.

*** When he comes off the field, Dillon is happy to watch Bailey's success. Testament to what they have, their support for each other and the lack of a big drop-off. The way Bailey prepares in practice even as the No. 2 RB is a testament to him.

*** Dillon points out he wasn't on the field on third downs as a freshman. He had 32 carries last game but still feels like he has fresh legs.
