compared definitely funny guess older seemed

I think a big thing with me is improvement. I'm young, and willing to do whatever it takes to get better.
eyes few force gave learn reading rookie says talked throw
I think they were reading a rookie quarterback's eyes, and a few times I gave myself away. I've got to learn when to force some things, and when to throw things away. I talked to Peyton (afterward), and he says it's going to get better.
college everybody eyes light nfl rolls target turns
It's just different. I had a target on me in college, but it's not like the target you have when an NFL quarterback rolls out of the pocket. Everyone's eyes light up, and everybody just turns and reacts to you. It wasn't like that at other levels.

All of our players are returning next year. So look for us to make a serious bid for the national championship.

We're so close, and sometimes the scores may not reflect that, but we're so close to being competitive in this league. There's a lot of things we're doing better now that we weren't doing at all earlier in the year. Coach always says it's a marathon, not a sprint, but that's the truth.
becoming close scores team
We're still close, ... I know the scores sometimes don't show that, but I think we're close to becoming a competitive team in the league.
