'The Big House' is 'The Big House', but there's ways to prepare for it. I think we're pretty adjusted to it. We go week-in and week-out with crowd noises in big stadiums, so I think we'll be fine with it. |
Any time you understand that the receivers are going to be a big part of the game, you've got to take that weight upon your shoulders and you've got to make some plays and make some big catches. I think the receiving corps did pretty good. |
Brady and Mo put up some crazy numbers. I just caught a couple of balls, but those two were going crazy. They were scoring touchdowns left and right. |
Brady makes big throws. He's gotten smarter. He's buying into the system, and it's paying off. |
Coach Weis has brought a confidence to this team that's just kind of bled through the team. It's kind of something we're trying to feed off of. ... He's brought a lot of things, but I think the mentality he's brought has just been probably the key part. |
Coach Weis is second to none in terms of preparation and getting you ready. Coach Weis is very straightforward. He definitely gets out of his players what he wants to get out of them -- nothing more and nothing less. With coach, you always know where you need to be and when you need to be there. We're going with him. We're riding the ship and we know he's going to take us in the right direction. |
Everyone knows Brady's always had the arm. He's always had the physical talent. He's always been a smart quarterback. But once Coach Weis got here, he kind of instilled a mentality in Brady to let him know he's got that skill. |
From the beginning I said I was going to give my heart to both sports and whatever worked out in the end was going to be my decision. After this season my decision has gotten exponentially tougher. Still, I'm not worried about it. I'm not leaning one way or the other. I'm just trying to have fun with these guys. It goes so fast. Before you know it I'll be playing my last home game at Notre Dame Stadium and trying to figure out what I want to do. |
He definitely has that Midwest attitude of blue collar. |
I have to go back to fundamentals during the week. There are some things I need to correct, but it shouldn't be too hard to fix them. |
I thought we blocked exceptionally well. We hurt them with screen passes and every time we had three or four guys leading the way. |
I was looking back trying to give a stiff arm, when I really didn't need to. [Maurice] Stovall put on a great block for me up on the 50 and it just kind of opened up the whole seam for me down the sideline. |
I wasn't getting the low strike, and I live down there. That defense behind me was outstanding. |
I'm an athlete playing baseball and football, which is the proper way to say it. I love both of them. I'm not worrying about making a decision. |
I'm surrounded by the right people. I've got a lot of good family and friends, two great head coaches. It will be a tough decision but not a bad one to have. |
