knew
We knew we had to come out firing. That set up the run.

We have to bounce back. If anybody is questioning themselves, they don?t need to be out here. I think this team will bounce back strong, hopefully stronger than ever. We have to; there?s no question.
believe believes believing fine mentality
We'll probably still think we're underdogs. We know we're going into it believing in each other, and if no one else believes in us, that's fine with us. Because we know the mentality that we need to take into the game, and that's the mentality we'll take into the game.
against approach based calls defense gives loaded passing situation taking work
We've done both. It's kind of been a situation of just taking what the defense gives us. If they've loaded up against the run, we've been able to work the passing game. It's just recognizing what approach they're taking, and making calls based on that.
definitely last
We definitely want to go to Cincinnati. They got us last time.

We're going to put together our first game plan and, hopefully, come out and execute it, ... The big thing is, we want to work on the little things. If we can put the little things together, the big picture will come together and, hopefully, it will be pretty nice.
coach pound whatever
We're going to go out and pound the ball. Whatever coach has in store.
When we game-plan, I think we'll be lot more dangerous.
dreamt receiver senior until
To play receiver and not play quarterback until my senior year, I never thought I'd be in this situation. I always wanted to be here and dreamt about it as a kid, but I never thought it would happen.
ourselves people pick
We still see ourselves as the underdogs. We always have. If people want to pick us, they can.

When you think about the Super Bowl, you imagine yourself coming and playing your best football, and it wasn't that way.
