(S3) - PT #3 - Flashback

When thinking back on his college career, Denzel Diaz flashes a cheeky smile, remembering fond memories. As a walk-on, Denzel earned his worth on the scout team his freshman year, before earning a scholarship late into his sophomore season. He remembers the hot California sun beating down on the Trojan practice field, taking on hits from guys much bigger than him, and much more physically mature. One of the fondest memories Denzel recalls is the fight that he was involved in at a practice. The team captain that happened to be a linebacker hit Denzel after the whistle, ehich resulted in fisticuffs and flying helmets. Another fond memory Denzel recalls is his first college touchdown, as a Junior against Western Kentucky. It was nothing special or spectacular - just a simple 2 yard plunge into the end zone, but it holds a special place in Denzel's heart. That touchdown was a culmination of hard work in school and on the field, over two years. But how could forget his "breakout" game against UCLA as a senior. 214 yards and 3TDs as a no-name 5'6 runningback not even expected to start. Truly a special moment. But his fondest college memory is the simple atmosphere of gamedays. Yes, the NSFL has some electric atmospheres, but college football just has this allure and pageantry about it that causes Denzel to trip on nostalgia. Whether he was the starter, or the 3rd string RB, the atmosphere of gameday is the fondest memory Denzel had.
