Brad felt he had a lot to prove, not only about this team but about himself. I don't think there was a young man out there more excited about the start of the college football season. |
Brad probably played the best game he's ever played, just in that second half. |
Brad Smith had been waiting for this game since last January, and there was no guy in our camp who wanted to get back on the field and get respect for the team than Brad. ... Brad looked very calm and poised out there. |
Brad's been waiting for this day. That kid is on a mission. What we can in this offense, we can just do a lot of things for him. |
Brad's been waiting since January, and you can see it. There was no guy in our program more excited about the season getting here than Brad Smith. I think he wants to earn some respect back . . . He worked very, very hard. |

He worked very, very hard. It's only one game, but certainly I think he ran the offense very well out there. |
Could be 0-12. Six and six isn't all that bad. The moral of the story is go to bowl games. |
Getting his 2,000 yards passing, 1,000 rushing, all that stuff?s great, ... but Brad will ultimately be judged by winning football games, and he understands that. |
He can play at his size, ... It's very unusual, but he can do that because of the type of competitor that he is. |
He has been preparing for this season since January. |
He just worked hard and got back in, so he's ready to go. |
He wasn't playing very good in the first quarter. He had guys open all over the field and he wasn't playing very good. |
He's a lot bigger than what he was when he got here, believe it or not. |
He's got a great arm. There's not question about it. He's got an NFL arm. The things we're doing right now and that we'll do through two-a-days will get us there. |
He's without question one of the best receivers in the country, what you would call a national recruit. In other words, a player that pretty much can go anywhere he wanted to in the United States. |
