Texas A&M Football
Aggie Flashback with former A&M CB Andre Williams
Key quotes from Andre Williams interview
“I wanted to come to A&M, for one, because they were winning. I think from a football perspective that was the biggest part. I definitely wanted to be part of a winning program, a winning team, a winning tradition.”
“On my visit, it just felt like the right place and after the decision, I was happy and obviously I couldn’t be happier with the decision I made.”
“It was just unbelievably fun and exciting. You just felt like you were part of something special. Our defense was not like any other defense that I had seen, still to this day.”
“We took pride in shutting down our opponents as corners, and we relied on our line and our sack guys to get to the quarterback.”
“My first year there, the amount of athletes that were on that defense was unbelievable. I think we had a top ten defense that year, and you know Coach (Bob) Davie’s scheme was just unbelievable.”
“I can distinctly remember us as a unit saying that we were going to beat them in the 1995 Alamo Bowl. We saw a big physical team in Michigan, but we didn’t see the speed. Coach Davie actually pointed that out, that we were going to run circles around them because they were too big and too slow.”
“We were just on another level of competitiveness in the 1995 Alamo Bowl. We just had a chip on our shoulder.”
“They ran a curl earlier in the game, and I told myself that if they run that play one more time I am gonna get it. The game progressed and we went back and forth, then low and behold the game is on the line, they are driving down and they ran the same play. So my eyes got about as big as a basketball and I just said ‘please throw it’, and when I saw his arm cock back I just remember planting and driving and telling myself just catch it.”
“I just looked up at the crowd and knew the game was sealed and definitely was the biggest play on the biggest stage of my career.”
