After your fourth or fifth close loss, you still can't find the words. It rips your heart out. |
Everyone should know who he is. This guy is something special. |
He hit me square in the head. I remember everything about the game until that point. The next thing I could remember, I was holding hands up in the locker room saying the prayer. |
I always thought Todd (Blythe) was the guy who'd get eight or so catches a game. I thought I was the role guy, and I still think that. It just so happens the first four games things are coming my way because (the opponent) maybe is double-teaming and rolling to Todd. |
I think he's going to be out there no matter what. Maybe not 100 percent, but he'll be out there competing. |
I'll tell you what, it's a little more physical out there at receiver than I thought, but I'm still enjoying it. As a quarterback you just go back there and maybe hand the ball off, then do your little bootleg thing while the play's going on. |
It just rips your heart out. It's the last game for the seniors, the guys who have been here four or five years. It's just hard. |
It was the first time I've ever thrown meat to a tiger. It was pretty cool. These are the little perks you get when you go to a bowl game. |
It's unbelievable. I can't see anything bigger and more eye-opening than Reliant. |
It's very exciting. I think I have exceeded at least my expectations. |
This is big publicity for Iowa State. Not only to do it on TV, but to win against a top 10 team in America is huge. |
You never know. I guess we'll find out during the game. |
