We weren't sure what to expect from him. He's really grown up. But this is his (final) year and he's worked his butt off.
People don't understand how hard it is to do what he's doing. He's like a movie star in L.A. He's done a fabulous job dealing with the attention. Most 22-year-old kids could never handle what he has to experience.
There's no coordinator in college football that could ever even try to put up numbers against him. ... He'll be missed.
The quarterback was a little off so we wanted to get back on track.
We had our backups and we like to play somewhat realistic. We had about six straight runs before that.
I don't think age matters. I've had four years here with coach Carroll. I've been next to Norm in the press box for the past four years. I've prepared myself. I'm not nervous, I feel extremely ready for it.
This will be more like a traditional NFL game, with great football players on both sides of the ball. This is probably a slower game, probably a lower-scoring game.
Every time Reggie is in your huddle, you're limiting the calls that a defensive coordinator can make. Reggie helps us in so many ways that you can't even imagine.
The backups moved the ball against the first unit of an SEC team.
They're very close right now. It's unbelievable how far (Sanchez) has come in one year of being here. ... Mark has narrowed the gap. Obviously, it was a huge gap when he got here.
No, we expect to be better. That's out goal, to do things better than they have ever been done before.
Oh, he's a much better fit in the NFL.
Reggie is the best football player in America. It's not even close.
He won't even be out there today. He's getting another MRI. His back just locked up Tuesday. He's barely able to walk around.
