decided iowa liked offer saw sent tape trying
I sent a lot of tape out, trying to get someone to bite. Basically, Iowa saw the film, liked what they saw and decided to offer me.
ball foul gets guys harder lose played trying
All those guys played so hard, and to lose at the end like that, it makes it even harder on a guy like myself who gets the foul at the end where you're just trying to do anything you can to make the ball go your way and it just didn't happen.
ended great proud team
We were part of the team that started it and to be part of the team that ended it wouldn't be something to be proud of. I don't know what makes it such a great advantage. I just know that as a player, you feel so much more comfortable at home.
listening people sitting
I've been sitting here listening to the people say, 'Gator Bait' all day.
huge iowa maturity
It would be huge for this team's confidence. We didn't show a lot of maturity at Iowa State, and this is another challenge.
best feeling good great special
Right now we're feeling pretty good about our special teams. We've had a great punting game, our protection's been good and I think our kickoff team's one of the best in the Big Ten, right now.
added field guess honestly offense quickly scores seemed walked
We could play another one right now. I honestly didn't know they had that many plays. I walked in here and (a reporter) said they had 101. It seemed like they had 70. I guess they added up (when) the offense scores quickly and we didn't get off the field in some situations.
gone improve stock
Everything has gone well for me this week. I think I've done enough to improve my stock this week.
played written
Don't put this on the refs. They played better than us. That's what should be written in the papers.
ball confidence defense driving field pounding third
We had never had that this year. We were doing some things (Saturday) we hadn't done. We were getting off the field as a defense on third down. We were driving and pounding the ball on offense. We really had a lot of confidence in what we were doing.
beating florida typical
That was typical of what the refs were doing today. But it's not about that. It's about Florida beating us. They outplayed us today.
ability blitz college definitely great help inside opportunity outside physical strengthen team
I didn't get a lot of opportunity to do that in college. We're not a real blitz team. I think I have that ability and when I did get that opportunity in college I was pretty successful. I think I'd be a great fit, especially as an outside rusher but I also have the physical ability of being an inside rusher too. I definitely could help a team strengthen their blitz package.
came credit iowa obviously ready shut talented team weapons
We've just got to come together. We have to play Iowa football. We didn't do that, but give the credit to Iowa State. They came out ready to go. They're obviously a very talented team and they had a lot of weapons and shut us down.
credit football iowa prepared shut
We did not play Iowa football and you have to give credit to Iowa State. ISU was prepared and shut us down.
