I feel very in control. It's just breaking the huddles and getting the guys to the huddle, and getting a snap count called correctly and know where to go with the ball.
I embarrassed my family. My family didn't speak to me for weeks after that.
We drove down there a couple of times and just couldn't get in. I think we just started executing and went down the field with a lot of confidence. And that's what made it better.
We got the win, so it doesn't matter, ... But otherwise, the three interceptions made my night terrible. I don't like that at all.
Our fans are the 12th man. Wherever we go, they're going to be there, and they're going to be cheering and yelling. No matter how many guys a stadium seats, they're going to be there.

To me, this is probably one of the greatest opportunities that you could ever think about, ... I believe everybody that plays football has a dream of playing on Sunday nights, and what better chance could you have than to open up against the defending ACC champs on Sunday with national TV.
The defense has been giving us great opportunities.
I love my older brother. He paved my life for me. He put my whole family on his back in college. But there's ups and downs with that. When things are going good, he's a great person to have as your brother. When bad things happen, everybody knows about it.
I just had to prove that I was responsible enough to be the starting quarterback, ... that I won't be there one day and the next day I won't be around.
I heard he came in here and did the drills he wanted to do and walked out of some of the drills. I'm not that kind of guy. I'm going to finish my drills and do everything they want me to do.
I have never owned a gun. I don't carry a gun. I have no idea why the police came to my house and arrested me later that night. I had a cell phone and someone mistook for a gun. Guns are dangerous. You never know when they might go off.
I'm not surprised, I've been playing quarterback all my life. I think this system fits well with me and I've been having fun with it.
I had a couple of forced throws. But we got the win.
