Blake McJunkin: Rare Junk

by **PonyPride** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 10:59 pm

The SMU Mustangs didn't win their season opener Sunday, but center Blake McJunkin has drawn praise all week for protecting helmetless Texas A&M defensive back Trent Hunter from injury while tackling Hunter after an interception. McJunkin visited with PonyFans.com to discuss why he reacted the way he did, and the impact he thinks the play could make ... off the field.

Enjoy!

What an impressive young man he is.

My favorite quote: â€œI try to physically maul the guy in front of me, to beat him up and make him hate life for a few hours."

Now THAT's the mentality of a lineman!

Great story about a great guy.

For someone who took a lot of heat last season for some bad snaps when he was playing injured but never used that as an excuse. It is really nice to see how this has played out so that fans can see what this guy is really made of. Really unfortunate part is his new injury, but I bet the Lord will take care of His own in this case too.
