Brian Kelly praises "a number of guys that have had to be selfless" all over the roster.
"The first guy that comes to mind is (former Zachary star) Chris Hilton. He goes out there and plays his tail off. He's blocking. He's doing all the things.
"He could easily say, 'What about mine? Why am I not getting mine?' And certainly he wants the ball. He's a competitor. And if he didn't want the ball, I'd be worried about that. But he does.
"But he's a teammate first. And that's why he's a leader of our football team."
Dashawn Spears only played nine defensive snaps against Florida, per PFF, and came away with two interceptions. That's what you would call making the most of your playing time.
