I expect to do everything I can to help the team win the Texas game.
I don't think it will be any different. A game is a game wherever you play it. This means a lot because it's another chance to gel with your teammates. Last year, I wasn't able to play in the seniors' last game. So this means a lot.
I don't think it's scary. I think it makes the game a lot more breathtaking, a lot more urgent for both teams.
What I saw was Ted (Ginn Jr.) running a post. It was a bad decision. I shouldn't have looked his way because there was so much congestion.
Guys came off the edge, and I was just trying to stay alive. I saw Gonzalez pop open down the sideline, and I just tried to get him the ball as fast as I could.
I admire tough guys. All around, he's a great quarterback. He makes plays when he has to. He's pretty much the complete package. So I don't think there's a lot of difference between the two of us. He's leading a school with great tradition and so am I.
He is a smash-mouth kind of player who will hit you when he gets a chance. You gotta be on the edge every time you see him.
We really, really set out this week to not overthrow the deep ball.
We were in the groove. Everything clicked. Maybe last year's game was a motivating point.
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.
We are kind of fortunate. But within the team concept I think we can only worry about working hard and getting a win.
It was about keeping it alive. Just keep it going and get some points.
I'm sure it's not forgotten, but you've got to move on. It's a new day, a whole different group of guys.
