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.
This week I concentrated more on staying in the pocket and getting the ball out of my hands, ... I didn't want to take any unnecessary licks like I did last week.
This time around, we just executed our plays a little more and (the comeback) happened.
We watched their defensive line, and we noticed that they weren't that athletic. I just wanted to pick up chunks of yardage. There were a couple of designed runs, but for the most part, I just tried to pull it down and get what I could get.
That kind of hurts me. Maurice and Lawrence were definitely guys who had a bad past. They're not even in the league anymore. But I'm a hard worker. I'm going to keep on fighting through my ups and downs. That's the difference between me and them.
It seems they put all their confidence into their cornerbacks, so we're really going to see how good they are,
It was everything I expected, ... I could've done a little better throwing the ball. But they have a great defense.
It was an accidental play. I didn't mean to do it on purpose. I went over to apologize to him and everything's OK.
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.
This gives our guys a lot of confidence, by getting two wins in other people's stadiums. It's going to be big when we go back home (this) week.
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.

Some kind of bad guy, like the villain.
