It was tough feeling like you could do some things better than the other guy, but at the same time it was tough on Zack Mills, too. He's a great quarterback, and I learned a lot from him. ... I just think that God put me here for a reason, and if I can handle this, I can handle anything.

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, they're great quarterbacks, but they're going to be a dying breed. Defenses are getting too fast. You can't have quarterbacks who are statues.

He's had another year of becoming more familiar with the personnel, more familiar with what he has on the offensive side of the ball, but I think Galen is one of the best coaches in the country as far as coaching on game day. He does a great job making adjustments on the fly, and that's a hard skill to do.
