definitely fill football player shown spots three
I've definitely shown that I'm a football player also. I can do other things. I can fill two or three roster spots with one person.
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.
figure help kid people run seen shot three willing
But I'm a realist. People have seen me run the ball. People have seen me catch. They figure this kid can help us with two or three roster spots. I'm more than willing to do that. I just want a shot at quarterback.
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.
against either tough
It was a long, long night. It was hard-hitting all the way. It was tough (for either team) to get anything going against the defenses.
coach mind respect senior
The senior class, we made up our mind in the off season. You know, Coach Paterno wasn't getting the respect he deserved.
definitely mean question
It would definitely mean a lot. But that's a question, if things go our way on Saturday, that's probably a question for after the game.
fall safety
And when we fall back into our safety zone, we become complacent.
calm calms coaches early joke trouble
Especially early in the game, you feel that you can't get out of the trouble and you get impatient. The coaches would just tell me to calm down, they'd tell me a joke that's not that funny, and it calms me down.
happy people picked seven sixth ten top
People picked us to go sixth in the Big Ten, ... People said we should be happy with six or seven wins. Now we're on top of the Big Ten right now.
blocking great overall
Blocking downfield overall was great from the receivers.
born brings great physically players respond
The thing that's great about AZ is he brings so much to the field. He does everything well physically and he's just a born leader. The players respond to him.
