, he had two members of his family near the Boston Marathon at the time of the Boston bombings. His sister-in law was a runner at the event and his brother is a surgeon in Boston that treated several victims.

Everybody's passionate about college football and their team, but when you have a brother that's in the medical field and you get to hear what he does on a daily basis, you realize what we're doing is just entertainment and what those doctors and emergency personnel are doing is truly life and death."
