good hope system work
But I'd like to think I had a little to do with it, ... I'd say a good system makes a quarterback look good. But I hope that a good quarterback makes the system work even better. I think I'm coachable and the system has done nothing but help.
great hear hope looking mentioned western
You hear about all the great quarterbacks who have come out of Western Pennsylvania. That's always been in the back of my mind. One day I hope to be mentioned with all of those guys. But right now I'm just looking for my opportunity, working for my chance.
attention came coming draft knew league looking paying
When I went there it wasn't like I knew who came out of where, ... I wasn't into the draft stuff. I wasn't really paying attention to it. But now looking at it, it really is a league for quarterbacks. They keep coming out like Leftwich and Rotherlisberger and Frye. It's a QB league.
defense fast goal last offense tempo tonight
Our goal tonight was to come out fast and strong, and we did that. Our offense wanted to set the tempo tonight, because the defense did it last week.
anywhere fifth fourth good hear round second third waiting workouts
I feel good about all of the workouts I've had. I've done well. Now it's a waiting game. I hear anywhere from the second to fourth round or the third through fifth round. I feel like I'll go in the third round, on the first day, but we'll see.
careers ends feels icing season
I think it ends the season right. Our careers here at Toledo as seniors, it is icing on the cake. This is our championship and it feels great.
brother chance coming excited fine guy joe pitt strong surprised teams
We're all the same, ... Carmen had a 72-yard touchdown in the Big 33 game. I'm not surprised by that. He's another guy a lot of teams didn't take a chance on. I'm excited for him. I know Joe will be fine at Pitt and my brother is coming up. We've got a pretty strong group.
help known win
Toledo is known for what we've done in the past. That's great, but it won't help us win any games.
charlie gave needed number
Charlie gave me his number and said he was there if I needed anything.
hear mentioned name seem
I hear my name mentioned with his and that just doesn't seem right,
again completion fine game percentage
If my completion percentage is over 70 per cent again that would be nice. If it isn't, but we're in that championship game again at the end of the year, it's fine by me.
cool definitely mentioned
It's definitely cool to be mentioned with those guys.
ball captains game leadership loves ourselves played playing ready remember squad state sure taken team travel
Ball State loves playing Toledo. But the game is about leadership and all of our captains were on the travel squad two years ago when we played there. We remember and we've taken it upon ourselves to make sure our team is ready this time.
came coaches coming harder matters smaller surprise takes worked
It takes me by surprise that after everything I've been through, it's worked out this well at Toledo, ... I don't think it matters where you came from. If you can play, you can play. Sometimes, it's harder coming from a smaller school, but if you have the talent, coaches are going to find you.
