Ole Misc.: Marquis Haynes needs to eat more cereal

I'm not sure if Haynes skipped breakfast the morning he had this interview with Ben Garrett of the Spirit, but he sure sounds hungry.

"After you get your first sack, you're challenging yourself to get more and more and more," he said. "It's like eating cereal. You can't stop. You gotta keep going."

It sounds like he should be eating more: after playing his freshman season at 215-220, he's currently 225, which is 15 pounds lighter than his offseason goal of 240. We've heard a lot about the coaches wanting him to become more than just a pass-rushing specialist, but it's gonna be tough to keep a guy that small on the field for running downs (especially with 279-pound Channing Ward available).
