There are things UCLA junior running back Paul Perkins cares about.
"I just want to be the best running back in the nation and win the national championship," he said.
And there are things that he pushes from his mind.
Perkins' breakout season in 2014, where he gained 1,575 yards and led the Pac-12 in rushing, has him more than halfway to Jonathan Franklin's UCLA record.
Franklin gained 4,620 yards from 2009-12, punctuated by a school record of 1,734 in 2012. Perkins, with two seasons remaining, has 2,445 career yards rushing.
"I can't think about that, I'd get lost in the sauce," Perkins said.
