He said it: "My goal was to get five touchdowns and 300 yards. Now, I've got to set another goal for next week. I just want to do better every time."
Coach said it: "The thing about him is he's consistent and works hard. He doesn't have a large frame, but his legs are extremely strong. He'll run through a lot of tackles." – Kevin Bush
Did you know? Smith's cousin is married to the aunt of former Forney star running back DaBryan Blanton, who runs track professionally for Nike. ... Smith wears No. 20 for his two favorite athletes – former Detroit Lions star Barry Sanders and Smith's mother, Charlotte, who wore the number as a high school athlete at Terrell. ...
