I've been counting down the days for this, ... Now it's almost here. I'm loving it.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
We went into halftime and the coaches made a lot of great adjustments. They called the right plays and we just went out in the second half and tried to make it happen.
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.
I don't feel like I was forcing things. Sometimes I had to get rid of the ball and hope my receivers made a play. Unfortunately, they didn't.
One fumble slipped out of my hands. The other fumbles was my ball security and me being reckless out there.
I always wanted to be the opposite of Mike. I never wanted to be on the same team. I'm always trying to get a shot at him. I want to beat him. You always want to beat your older brother. I'm looking forward to that.
I always want to complete at least 60 percent of my passing and have a good touchdown-to-interception ratio, so I'm always working on that,
