TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida State quarterback Chris Rix seems to have it all: He's tall and tough, with a strong arm and fast feet. But he's still working on winning respect.
After an up-and-down 2002 season climaxed by a suspension for the Sugar Bowl for oversleeping and missing a final exam, Rix has a lot to prove.
"I'm going to make sure my teammates can depend on me in all aspects," Rix said during Sunday's media day. "We learn from our mistakes."
Rix has been criticized for taking too many chances with the ball, especially when he runs.
