We're here talking with San Jose SaberCats running back Maple Dogwood to look back on the current season and make some predictions about the playoffs.
Q: Maple, how would you grade your performance this season?
A: Well, we made the playoffs, so I am thrilled with that. My goals are always team-first because I want to bring home the Ultimus back to San Jose.
Q: What about individual accolades, is that something you ever think about?
A: Honestly, not really. The best teams have multiple running backs so I knew that it would be in everybody's best interest to split carries. Plus, it keeps me fresh!
Q: Last question - who is your Ultimus Champ this year?
A: Obviously the San Jose SaberCats! I think, like last year, our most difficult game will be against Arizona. If we get past them, I like our odds not just to get to the Ultimus, but to bring home the title to the best fanbase in the entire country. It will take every ounce of effort we have, but this squad can do it.
