Kevin (LA): Ali, how did it feel winning a national championship game in a year of college football with so much parity? SportsNation Ali Highsmith: It just seemed like everything was set up for us, and destiny, especially after those loses. We set our goals, and we worked hard and got there. When we had our shot at the big dance we just stepped up and ran with it. J.B. (Dunmore, PA): Mr. Highsmith: Which do you prefer, inside or outside LB? SportsNation Ali Highsmith: I like all of them. I like outside a little more, because I can run around more and pretty much the OLB get more of the blotzes, so I guess that would be my favorite out of the two. Josh (Baltimore): Do you prefer getting a sack or a INT? SportsNation Ali Highsmith: I would rather get a sack and make the QB fumble! (i.e., I crushed boeckman and still think about it all the time) Brad (Carlisle, PA): Thank you for beating OSU for us all. Even the OSU fans deep down wanted that to happen. lol::lol SportsNation Ali Highsmith: You're welcome! Marc (Atlanta): Is there a player you tried to model your game after growing up? SportsNation Ali Highsmith: Yes, Brian Cox. Just because he was a vicious tackler and went out there and made plays. And I feel like I can go and make plays like him. (better than bosworth I suppose) Jason (TN): whats is your favorite pro football team?? SportsNation Ali Highsmith: No. It just depends on who is playing. I pick someone I want to win. (apparently listened to agent very well) Thomas (STL): What NFL LB would you say you most compare too. SportsNation Ali Highsmith: Ray Lewis. (minus the murder) SprungOnSports (Long Island): What's your greatest strength and your largest weakness? SportsNation Ali Highsmith: My greatets strength is my quickness and my speed, getting from one place to another. I need to work on getting off blocks better. (honest answer) Jared (AR): What was it like trying to tackle DMac and Felix?? SportsNation Ali Highsmith: Get off the internet! For me that was like chasing the cheetah. ( decaf?) SportsNation Ali Highsmith: It was tiring. Jason (TN): what nfl qb would you like to sack the most and why?? SportsNation Ali Highsmith: Tom Brady. He just does not get touched that much. (the hoodie will not like this)
