We understand each other the whole way around. (He's) like my baby brother in the sense of how we've grown up together.
The scheming today was set up for us to make big plays.
The scheme was to make big plays. The guys stepped up, the offensive line did a great job and I was fortunate to be able to connect on a couple deep passes.
It was about keeping it alive. Just keep it going and get some points.
First of all, I want to let you know that sitting out of last year's bowl, I didn't think about that as much as you probably think I did. To me, this year's seniors, this group of guys on the field, that's what it was about. I don't like taking a lot of credit for what goes on on the field because it takes 11 guys.
Every time we looked up to the scoreboard (in practice), it was up there as a reminder of how bad we got beat.
Pressure busts pipes -- but it can also make a diamond. I'm a diamond.
Our seniors can still finish 4-0 in bowl games if we win the Fiesta. That's huge incentive for us.
Teachers make a difference. That's all I really know. I come from a family of teachers. And I wanted to touch someone's life.
Congratulations, first and foremost. And just be ready when you come up this way.
The tradition between the two schools is unrivaled. It's so rich, goes back so far, in a sense it can't be matched. There are only a couple of other schools in the nation with this much tradition. Hopefully, this can go down as one of the great games.
We really, really set out this week to not overthrow the deep ball.
We can become the best offense in the nation if we stay within ourselves and don't let the hype get to us.
We came out with the understanding we needed to dominate. Everything kind of clicked today.
