Credit to our defense. Any time as an offense you struggle, you've got to have your defense play solid and stop them. Our defense definitely did that. I'm proud of them. They took a good step toward the right direction in being able to stop people when they need to.

I think I just barely scratched the surface last year. I think people saw just a little bit of what I can do. Those are definitely not the kind of numbers I hope to put up this year. I'll be putting up bigger and better numbers. Obviously, if that's happening, then this team will be winning games and hopefully going to the playoffs.
It's definitely something you think about, having big days and scoring four touchdowns, but you let it come to you,
When he first got here, he said he had some nastiness to him, and that was one thing he was going to bring. He's definitely brought it. ... I mean, the guy has brought a different mindset to the defense.
Absolutely. You're going to definitely think about the games that got away, what you could have done different.
I think it definitely changes things a lot because he's obviously one of our playmakers, ... I think our offense, hopefully, opens up a lot more and we'll be able to get the ball down the field some and put more points on the board.

We just got outplayed. They made great adjustments and we didn't do very well adjusting ourselves.

We saw that they were stacking the box to stop the fullback, ... We saw that no one was going out on me when we run the sweep. We decided to pitch it out there and it was wide open.
I've said it before, but I guess nobody really took notice before. It's just a goal that I have.
It would be great. It's something you always dream about. You dream that it would be something you would accomplish when you grow up.
The ribs are no big deal. I hurt it on my right side, hurt it when I fell on somebody. The rib pad was bothering me more than the rib itself.
