settles shut win
For us to come here, win like we did and shut them out ... it settles it down a little bit.
seen shocking
I've never seen anything like that before. This was really just a shocking incident.
hit standpoint weight
Quarterbacks are untouchable nowadays. If you hit a quarterback too hard, or if you fall on him with too much weight - which is a judgment thing from a professional standpoint - you're going to get flagged.
happy interested orleans taken team texans utilize wants
Yeah, I think the Texans are interested in me, but I think New Orleans is more interested. Sure, I'd be happy to be taken first, but I just want to play for a team that wants to utilize my talent.
game quarter
That was a long quarter. I've never been in a quarter like that. It was a really long game.
came good inspire kids lead meet model role staying
My brother, Michael, was my role model when it came to staying fit. Sometimes I meet kids who do not have a role model and I want to be someone who can inspire them and lead them to do good things.
against bowl came game good job last offensive south
Getting that shutout was just great. Especially after not going to a bowl game last year, we came to play for the seniors. We were able to do a really good job against South Florida's offensive line.
coming fit goal main teams versatile
I can do whatever. I can play the 3-4. I can play the 4-3. If you want me back at linebacker I can do that coming off the edge. My main goal coming into this was to be versatile and let the teams put me where they want to. It's all about the team, put me where I fit in.
feeling great
I was so excited, it was a great feeling to have.
bounce bowl game guys point proves shut team win
I got more stats than some guys have the whole season. That proves a point for me and my team, for us to bounce back like that and win a bowl game and shut a team out.
I don't have an ego; I'm not egotistical or anything like that.
direction leaning next
Obviously, I'm leaning in that direction. I will make that announcement next week.
You can never, ever worry about making mistakes or things like that. I'm going to go out and play ball, and that's what I do.
giving great people shut
It was phenomenal. At 2-4, people were writing us off. They were giving up hope. But to come out like this and to shut them out, it's a great feeling.
