At this level, guys really respect a guy who makes plays and kind of shows his leadership through his play. He likes to joke around, keep things light, make fun of guys. He's real lighthearted but once he's on the field he's all business. |
Because of the position I am on the team and the situation we have I'm going to take some criticism when we lose and probably even when we win, |
Down to earth |
For me to know I can go in and win in this league is a huge confidence booster, |
I listen and take it for what it's worth. And a lot of it is worth nothing to me. Some of it, the criticism and the stuff that comes from my coaches and people like that that I need to listen to to get better, that definitely means something to me. |
I'm like anybody else at this level. I want to play. |
I've already won a couple games in the Pac-10. It's nice to get the first win and come out and improve. At the same time, I think I'm going to look at film and know that there's things I need to work on, which is a good thing. |
If they're the 12th team in the nation, I don't know where we should be at. Obviously, we are down, but we have to bounce back. We have five more games to play, and we are looking to go to a bowl still. |
In hindsight, I'd like to have thrown deep, but we didn't have the ball a lot and there weren't many opportunities. |
It was definitely a shock. |
It's hard for me to say that it's part of the game that I've played because I've never been in the situation, ... But, you know, we have played six poor quarters of football. Now our season is kind of hanging in the balance and we've got a big obstacle on Saturday that we've got to overcome. |
On the field, he kind of means everything. |
Personally, I felt improved. I felt I was able to stretch the field a little more. There's been kind of a misconception of my play, that I can't throw downfield. That's about all we did in high school. |
That's Jason Hill right there. |
We just didn't play 60 minutes of football, or 65 minutes, of football, or whatever it was. |
