It was a bad throw. I had a lot of bad throws. |
It was a typical A-Day game. You can't judge our team by that. |
It was fun. I've never interacted with dolphins like that. It was interesting see how they would use hand gestures to get the dolphins to do whatever they tell them to. |
It's a busy weekend for us, nothing out of the ordinary. We'll do our usual song and dance. |
It's a tough game to end on, especially with the great season we've had. If we can just kind of put that one aside and look back at the season that we did have, I think a lot of people were impressed. |
It's definitely different. It's something I've been waiting for a long time. It's the reason I came here. It's something special, and I'm pumped up about it. |
Just from learning [by] what Jason went through, I know it doesn't matter who you are, you're going to have criticism. I expect that. I know it's going to come. I just have to block it out and overcome it and just go out there and prove what I can do. |
Nobody was over there. They've seen our formations so many times, they know what's coming. They have the advantage there. They were cheating on the play. They deserved it. |
Once I get that first snap out of the way and that first completion, I'll be fine after that. You just get into a zone and you don't even realize there's 90,000 people watching. |
That first game, I didn't have the experience that I needed and was kind of overwhelmed. But the coaches and the players never lost confidence in me and that was a big thing throughout the year. |
The speed in a real game is a lot faster than it is in practice. We've got one of the best defenses we can go against in practice, but the speed is still a little faster come game time. I've got that experience now and I can take that to next week and use that. |
There's a big difference between nine wins and 10 wins. For us to be able to do that, it would help us in the rankings for next year and give us a lot of momentum. |
They didn't have anybody deep. That's what that play is designed for, to throw it up top. |
They were a little disappointed that they didn't get the ball that much. It's a little different than against Tech. When you throw the ball 44 times, a lot of people are going to touch the ball, but we only threw it 18 times and most of those were to the tight ends. |
To have that first drive end like it did is disappointing. I take the blame. I shouldn't have made that throw. But we hung in there and recovered. |
