Some funny quotes in here.   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

The Vol DB had an eight-to-nine-yard head start on Ruggs.

I won’t say it was a highlight, it was just me making a play, doing what I got to do,” Ruggs said Monday. “I kinda feel like he got more out of that return than he should’ve got because I was jogging in the beginning.”

Ruggs said he thought he saw a teammate with an angle to take down Warrior but he was blocked and hit the turf.

“That’s when I took off full speed,” Ruggs said. “I feel like, me being me, giving 100 percent effort, I should’ve took off when he first caught it and he never should’ve got that far.”

It went in the books as a 59-yard return for Warrior, a former Alabama recruiting target who signed with Tennessee instead.

“Once I took off, I saw he had a blocker and my biggest thing was getting around the block." Ruggs said. “I knew once I took off, I felt that I was gaining on him, and everybody on the sideline was pointing at me. I could see that, so I knew I had him; my thought was just, ‘He’s not about to score.’” ...

Video is telling.  You can see when Ruggs hits the gas.  And he's moving faster than Waddle -- to be fair Waddle had to dodge a blocker and ref.

Henry is fast and right. You should run full speed starting off. RTR!
