For the past six months, James Conner has worked to keep himself in football shape, to keep the dream of an ACC championship, a Heisman Trophy and an NFL career alive.

Conner appeared on "The Ellen Show" to discuss his battle, and when Ellen asks how he's able to participate in practices and workouts while gutting through chemotherapy. Conner's answer?
"We've got a game September 3rd."
