came competition competitor starting tells torn won
Then when they had competition in camp, he just came out there and competed and won his spot. That tells you what kind of a competitor he is, to come back from a torn ACL to do what he did and to be our starting quarterback.
coach start
It's important to start 1-0; we've never done that under coach Dorrell. We don't want to go 6-6 again. We want to go 11-0.
accolades came four guy next pay three
That was embarrassing for a guy to take three back, then have four the whole year. It was like all his accolades came off us, so you want to go back there and pay him a visit. He's not there, so we have to pay the next guy.
football given heart passion saturday
We thought we were better than we really were. We have to come out and know that any given Saturday we can lose. That's how it is. You have to be able to play football with a heart and passion and not underestimate anyone.
believe grow however people pounds
I can't grow any taller. I've told people and I believe it, all I can do is go out there and play like I'm 6-3, you know, and however many pounds they want me to weigh.
chance hopefully pull separate stack
I think I stack up well. We're all bunched up right now, but this is a chance for me to separate myself from the pack. I'm working out today, I'm doing everything, and hopefully I'll be able to pull myself away from the pack.
drew fighting gets guy hurt might total
He's always been a leader. When he was hurt in the spring, usually if a guy gets hurt and he's fighting for a spot, he might be selfish, but Drew did the total opposite,
bush disrespect goal great guy mean
Reggie Bush is a great guy and I mean no disrespect to anyone. But my goal is to be the No.1 pick.
ball check faster game gets pace playing plays quicker reads
He is playing the game at a faster pace now. He gets the ball off quicker, he can check out of plays quicker and he's going through his reads quicker and getting it to the right guy.
basically plays versatile
But I think I'm a versatile back, someone who can do a lot of different things. I can run, catch, block, return, basically anything you want me to do, I'm going to go out there and do. I'll make plays for you.
everybody mold piece type
But I try to get a piece of everybody and mold it into my own. Try to make my own type of game. I can do all of the moves.
gets picks rarely remembers sure
He rarely gets the picks right. I will make sure he remembers me.
ball fine rushes takes throw whatever
If I get two rushes and we win, that's fine with me. If I get 30 rushes and we win, that's fine with me. If we have to throw the ball 40-50 times to win, that's what we have to do. Whatever it takes to win, that's what we're all here for,
freshman guys noticing run
If guys run hard, they aren't intimidated of a defense. You'd think a freshman would be scared. You can tell a guy who is scared. He'll tip-toe and try to make moves. I started noticing that.
