guys hitting last plays sent stretch three year
Those are some of the things that we have to hit. We weren't hitting those plays last year. Now we have two or three guys that can make those plays. Last year I was the only one they sent deep. But we have some guys that can stretch the field.
ball easiest guy handle needs position running strengths suits switch
I can handle any position that I may switch to, but I think probably the easiest position that suits my strengths is running back. I'm a guy that really needs the ball in his hands.
consider freshmen guys shown
I don't consider those guys freshmen anymore. They've shown up in the big games. They're mature.
guys outside
We have guys on the outside who can make plays.
ball coming gotta guys king player players
That started everything. King coming in and making a big play like that started everything. He's a big-time player and big-time players show up in big-time situations. He's one of those guys we gotta get the ball to.
coverage guys recognize
They didn't go to a traditional coverage after they blitzed, ... and our guys were really able to recognize that and get open.
guys plays stepped
I think we're pretty much comfortable with any one of those guys in the backfield. They've all stepped up and made big plays this preseason. We feel comfortable with any of those guys going.
against anybody best fastest field guy run
At times he's the fastest guy on the field and one of the best tacklers. AZ is a real cornerback. He can run with anybody they put against him.
anyone deep good guys hurt pass patterns people running
He's one of those guys that people really don't think can hurt you, but he can. He's probably as good at running the deep pass patterns as anyone we got on the team. He's making the most of his opportunities.
easy great guys line ran underneath
The line did a great job. The receivers got open. I had an easy job. All I had to do was put it out there and those guys ran underneath it.
guy happen people questions run
You know, people see a guy who can run around and make things happen with his legs, and all of a sudden, he's not a quarterback. That's just the way people think. I can't be upset. Now, if Brett Favre was like that, those questions wouldn't even have arisen.
beat drop four guys key three throw
You can't really just key in on one receiver, because now we have three or four guys that can beat you deep. Sometimes I drop back and I don't know who to throw it to, because they can all get open.
focus forgotten mind night saturday thinking totally tough trying
It was tough all of Saturday night and all of Sunday, I was thinking about what we could have done differently, ... But now I've totally forgotten about it. I'm just trying to get it out of my mind and focus on Illinois.
feeling god great handle learned time tough
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.
