Their front four is very dominant. We're going to try to do just the basic things, try to get them to jump offsides and just try to mix things up on them.
I just told the guys that we're going to be OK. We drove down the field there a couple of times and couldn't get it in. All of a sudden, we just started executing.
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.
Things happened. There was a chance. I didn't want to go that far from home.
I want to show the world I'm not the person some people make me out to be.
I had a couple of forced throws. But we got the win.
If I think backward, I'm going to go backward.
I really can't tell yet how people feel about me. But why wouldn't people have an open mind about me? I'm not a bad guy and I plan to tell the truth.
It was great. It was everything I expected. We could have done a little more on offense to help ourselves, but N.C. State is a great team and they were bringing the dogs.
