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!!"

Dan the Man

Saturday night me and my Dad were given tickets to the Arena Football League game by Nashville Kats star running back Dan Alexander. We sat next to his wife, Amy and watched Dan have a record breaking game. He scored a record 6 rushing touchdowns against the Kansas City Brigade. Dan also has 24 rushing touchdowns this season. He is just 2 touchdowns shy of the AFL record of 26. The Kats have 8 games left in the season. I think Dan just has to stay healthy to break the record easily. Dan Alexander is having his best season yet in his career. The Kats went on to win 49-40. So much scoring in a close game is fun.
After the game about 5 interviewers were all asking Dan about his game. At the game I got a Dan Alexander #38 Kats jersey. After the game we went down to the field to get autographs. My Dad took a picture with me and Dan. Then Dan autographed my jersey. I didn't have to think about what I wanted to wear to school on Monday. I'll let everyone know when Dan breaks the AFL record. I bet it will be next game.
