improvement takes whatever willing
I think a big thing with me is improvement. I'm young, and willing to do whatever it takes to get better.
few jars rattled
I rattled a few jars and roared at them at the interval.
coaches sees technique
That's all that my coaches are harping on now -- technique. He sees the will and the want to and the fight, and once that technique is down, then that's what makes the difference.
chance college either feels high imagined levels locker played school special time twice
I played here twice in high school and twice in college -- same locker rooms, same sidelines, so it feels pretty special. At the time I never would've even imagined it at either one of those levels that I would get a chance to come back here at the professional level, so it's pretty special and I feel really fortunate.
good knew knock shots
I knew they were good shooters, and that if we didn't get out on them, they were going to knock shots down.

All of our players are returning next year. So look for us to make a serious bid for the national championship.
bar best country days front good pushed tight
He always pushed the bar higher, and I think his best days are probably still in front of him. He's as good as any tight end in the country in my opinion.

I'm sure they're going to crowd the box and not give much respect to our passing game. The first win was a much bigger deal (than the first TD pass). To get that first one is a big deal, I'm not going to lie, but I'd rather do the little things, not turn the ball over and help us win.
believe confident display hard lose sight trying
I'm just trying to play my game. I believe and I'm confident in what I can do, so I'm just trying to display that to the coaches. Sometimes you find yourself trying too hard and trying to do too much. You kind of lose sight of what you do.
