Questions for Dan Alexander: 14 for #38

1. What were your personal goals heading into this past season?
My personal goals for the season were to be the starting fullback, to play in every game, to get a sack, and to average over 3yds per carry. I did not get to reach all of these goals but that means I need to work even harder this offseason.


2. You destroyed the previous AFL record of 26 rushing touchdowns in a season with 41 rushing touchdowns. At the beginning of the season did you have any thought of breaking the record?
I had no idea that I would be given so many opportunities by my coaches to score so many rushing touchdowns in a league that is dominated by passing.


3. Of the 41 touchdowns, besides #27 when you broke the record, do you have a favorite or most memorable touchdown?
Looking back, touchdown #27 was actually the most memorable because I hadn't been keeping track of how many touchdowns I had so I didn't even know I had broken the record until Rupert Grant (Doghead) came onto the field and told me to keep the ball. I asked him why and he said "because you just broke the record!!"
