I was disappointed by the three interceptions. My team fought hard, and that's all that matters. They kept us in the game and won a tough one on the road. |
I'm just looking forward to getting a chance to get on the field and make some plays. If you're a football player, you can adjust to anything on the field. |
I'm pretty comfortable now, there are still things I need to learn, like running routes. That takes a little time, but I feel confident in myself. |
I'm tired. But the win was so big. We had lost two in a row and the season was on the line. |
It was close, but they weren't going to get me down. I couldn't go back to the sidelines with a safety and face Coach Groh. There was no way there were going to get me down. I was going to throw it into the stands before they got me down. |
It was great how my teammates and coaches kept rallying around me up there. They never pointed a finger and never got down on me. That shows how much this team has come together. |
It's a long season, and it gets even longer on the next level (NFL), so I think the bowl system is a good thing. Playoffs might work, but not like bowl games. I hope they stick with the bowls in college. |
It's good those coaches got promoted to the jobs they did . . .. I think the team rallied together and everyone assumed individual responsibility, and the win is good. It's gratifying. |
It's good to reminisce. But that game has no effect on how this game's gonna be played. |
Speed is a factor in any game. Coach E has done a good job of getting us faster overall. |
Syracuse got pressure into the backfield a lot quicker, so they altered some of the timing I could use to go through my [passing] progressions. Coach says that, 'If you're going to make a decision, to go ahead and do it.' My God-given ability just takes over and I was able to make some plays. |
The only times I got sacked was when I was trying to make plays on my own. It wasn't that the offensive line had let down. They did a great job. |
They told me I could come to school right away. They wanted me to 'prop,' but you lose a year under Prop 48. I didn't want to do that and my high school coach [Mike Smith] didn't want me to do that, so he made a call to Coach [John] Shuman at Fork Union. I wanted all my turns to play. |
We'll have football practice, a team meal, meetings, curfew and then I'll call it a night. |
We've got some good running backs as well. It's going to come down to execution. |
