More Quotes from Sylvester Croom:
(His ability) is no secret, ... (Georgia) figured that out the other night, holding him, grabbing him by the face-guard, making sure he didn't get off the line of scrimmage. They figured out real fast we're trying to get him the ball. We're always trying to get him the ball in a lot of different ways.Sylvester Croom

Last February, one of the first major decisions he had to make as coach was determining the fate of leading returning rusher Nick Turner , whohadstruggled academically and had plead guilty to passing counterfeit money. Croom ultimately dismissed Turner from the team but allowed him to keep his scholarship for the spring semester so he could leave the school in good academic standing. If a kid doesn't get that degree, it's going to affect him, his family, the kids he's going to have, ... That's a heavy burden to have. I agonized over that decision for a week.
