Romine rebounds from season-ending injury to regain starting job

Air Force quaretrback Nate Romine readily admits there were some brief moments of doubt after he suffered a season-ending knee injury last September.

"That first night you face those tough questions. Can I come back? Will I be the same player?" Romine said. "I got over that mental hurdle pretty quickly. I woke up the next day determined to be even better than before."

Romine rejoined the team for spring practice and performed very well in various measurements conducted by the Air Force strength and conditioning staff.

"We tested in the spring and I was faster and stronger than before the injury," he said.
