Our coaches were good to us. They treated it more as a bonus for us. We didn't work too hard and we got some time off.

Our guys did a great job with their disguising and their timing.
|
Our guys just made the plays. They didn't block our guys the way they've been blocking people. They had a harder time. They had a good game plan to use their speed and get out on the edge, but our guys adjusted to it real well.

The secret, if there was one, was the execution of our players.

They're all very anxious to get out there. They've earned their spot in the sun, and they want to go get it.

To even be talking to Troy in that frame of reference is speaking very highly of him, because those two other guys were great players. I began to see a lot of the things that they did that Troy could do, and I think Troy has a ways to go.

Troy improvises a lot of that stuff. We give him parameters, and sometimes Troy may stretch those a bit.
|
Troy's got that rare ability to play at all levels of the defense - deep, intermediate, at the line and blitz. Those people just don't come along every day.

We always know where he's going. But I'm not always sure how he's going to get there.
