He just is really coming on strong, and he has a chance to be one of the better players that we've had since we've been here. |
He just said he felt he'd like to try it down there, ... it would also give him a chance to be in person-to-person communication with the defensive backs for any adjustments that had to be made. |
He kind of looked like one of those balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, |

He practiced well yesterday, ... If he progresses the way that he has and continues to move on, then there's a real good chance of it. |
He really stepped up during playoff time. Good teams have a lot of players that step up at that particular time. And that's as much a characteristic as size and speed is the ability to step up at those moments. |
He seemed to have been very comfortable [at safety] from the start, |
He seems to have been very comfortable back there from the start. It's pretty amazing his first day back there how quickly he acted right at home as far as making the calls. |
He was a great inspiration to the players and coaches, ... On those days when he had to take chemo and radiation, he was at practice that day and sometimes the cumulative effects would cause him to miss the next day, but the time when he wasn't active in the program was minimal. |

He was impressive on the tape, and he was impressive tonight, ... and that's what good players do. But most of his plays were underneath plays. There were some plays that I would have preferred that we could have gotten him on the ground faster, but in the long run, they weren't overly harmful to us. |
He was pretty spectacular. All the teams that accomplish anything during a season have a quarterback that picks his team up and carries it, and he surely did that. |
He'll be picked with the expectation that he'll come in and play [immediately], and he's already experienced that once before. |
He's a great model for the university in general. To have a player of this level and this accomplishment, who's also graduated in seven semesters, paints a pretty good profile of what we're looking for. |
He's a no-maintenance, no-baggage player, on top of being a highly skilled player. That's quite a package for teams. |
