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.
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.
It was everything I expected, ... I could've done a little better throwing the ball. But they have a great defense.
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.
This time around, we just executed our plays a little more and (the comeback) happened.
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 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.
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.
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.
One fumble slipped out of my hands. The other fumbles was my ball security and me being reckless out there.
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,
I apologize for letting my emotions get the best of me Saturday, ... What I did was wrong and I am sorry.
