Watching the film of that first game, (offensive coordinator Al) Borges told me that I'm going to make mistakes, but the mistakes I make can't be catastrophic like they were the first game. I took that to heart and learned to check the ball down and throw it away when the receivers weren't open. |
We came out to run the ball, no matter what. Coach Borges wanted to make both sides of the ball play really physical, and the defense just had the upper hand today. |
We were just having fun. They had three guys surrounding Joe Cope and wouldn't let him off the ground. I was trying to help out my teammate. |
We were ready to play. Sometimes it just happens where you play hard but you can't get those plays to come. It's not because you're not trying, it just happens. |
We'll spend the night Friday night in the (Montgomery) hotel and we'll fly out. It'll only be like an hour flight. It's like a bus ride. It'll be different but it will be similar to the (usual) routine. |
We've been doing them twice a week and kept our timing down and our arms in shape. It really paid off. |
We've got some experience at receiver. They've done a great job this year making big plays for us. Me, as a first-year quarterback, it's big having those guys to be able to throw to and make big plays. |
