Venables was blunt, saying the Heisman hopeful left Norman for Eugene because he wanted to be closer to home.'You can't make a guy stay,' Venables said.
I've got a smile on my face every day because I'm in Eugene, Oregon, around a bunch of great guys. Of course, those are guys that are my brothers for life and guys I've played with. Like I said, it's people I still talk to on the team, players-wise. You focus on what you can control and that's right where I'm at. Like I said, I'm happy. I know God put me right where I need to be and I think that's all that needs to be said, honestly.
