The guy is very magical with the ball. He has speed and can change direction. He plays with a tremendous amount of toughness for his size and he's done an outstanding job in what he has been able to do in their offense.
A good defense starts with defending the middle of the field, and that starts with being able to stop the run.
And my wife told me once, 'I'll never talk to you again,'
This is only about the fifth one of those we've had this year. So it's not our first rodeo when it comes to these things, and we know how unpredictable they can be, and we know how dangerous they can be.
This is a great football game against a very good football team. A lot of character, a lot of heart out there today on both sides of the ball -- that's what makes it special, when you can persevere and come away with the win.
This has no bearing on what his workload is going to be in the game.

I'm just happy that we could make this state proud, ... We got tired at the end of the game, but we played from the heart.
I don't think we are going to do a lot of stuff. We haven't done much the whole preseason. . . but what we want to do is, go through a preparation so the players get an idea of what we are doing and the kind of adjustments they have to make and things like that. It's more the idea of going through the process than it is to do different things.
