Sitting with him less than 24 hours after he ran for 160 yards and a touchdown to help the Crimson clinch the Ivy title over Penn, he doesn’t mention football until someone comes over and congratulates him. Even then, he turns to his injured roommate sitting across the table and says with a smile, “Yeah, man, congratulations, great game...
