We understand each other the whole way around. (He's) like my baby brother in the sense of how we've grown up together.
Oh, yeah. When you have an understanding it is not just about you, the best will come out of you. I don't regret anything that has happened in the past because it's helped me become the person I am now.
We came out with the understanding we needed to dominate. Everything kind of clicked today.
This was a huge victory. I hope this win turns around our season.
This was a huge victory. I hope this is the turning point in the season for us.
Sitting out last year's bowl game, I didn't think about that as much as you probably think I did. This year's group of guys on the field was the most important sending them out with a victory today.
There is a whole different emphasis on how they want to take him out of the game. But that exploits other areas when they expend so much time and energy trying to take one player out of the game.
Our defense was key tonight. They had a tough time setting up their offense because of our full-court press.
I thought they brought him back too soon. What were they thinking? I'll boo him if the people around me boo him.
I think we did pretty good. I think we did some good things, and we did some bad things. The turnovers - we don't need them, and we never want to have them.
I think we can keep improving on some things offensively. We can grow into a real dangerous offense.
I think it's being more comfortable within the offense, the guys starting to be comfortable with me and also the coaching staff. With more film study you're able to see more guys, not just through tunnel vision like I had early in the season.
I feel like I have grown in front of everybody. From a knucklehead young guy to hopefully an up-and-coming wise senior who can lead this group of guys.
From my standpoint I'm going to try the hardest that I can to get the ball to the receivers in a position where they can get the ball and make a play.
