huge iowa maturity
It would be huge for this team's confidence. We didn't show a lot of maturity at Iowa State, and this is another challenge.
best feeling good great special
Right now we're feeling pretty good about our special teams. We've had a great punting game, our protection's been good and I think our kickoff team's one of the best in the Big Ten, right now.
played written
Don't put this on the refs. They played better than us. That's what should be written in the papers.
came cover faster move safety saw skills weigh worked
They kind of saw that and I think they really thought I could take my cover skills as a safety and move them to linebacker, and it worked out perfectly. I weigh 245, and I'm actually a lot faster than I was when I came here.
best definitely exact factor games happened ironic last majority pride situation win
There was definitely a sense, a pride factor after the game, that we have a chance. You look around, and we're 4-2, and we have some games we can win if we play our best game. If we play like we did Saturday, we can win the majority of our games we have left. It's ironic how it happened last year, but it's the exact same situation we're in right now.
albert talented
I think Albert Young could be an every-down back because he's so talented in all areas.
beat florida typical
I don't know if I was offside or not. It was just typical of what the referees did today. But give Florida credit. They beat us.
against gotten grown last matured played poised situations sure tough year
I'm sure he's a much more poised quarterback. He's been through a lot more situations and played against a lot of tough defenses this year and last so I'm sure he's grown a lot as a player. To think back two years ago where I was, you can kind of see where he's matured and probably gotten a lot better.
ball believe complete foot guy happened hard imagine maybe
I couldn't believe it. You go back to the Northwestern game, and those who know what happened in that game, it was the complete opposite. Typically on a kickoff, you're going to have a guy who's maybe a foot over the line. It's just hard to imagine that that's the way it went down after we really executed well on the onside and got the ball back.
field four front good improve last ourselves together
It's been good having Abdul here this week. We've been together for the last four years. We've complemented each other on the field over the years at Iowa, but this week, we're here to improve ourselves in front of the NFL.
bowl complain four great january run wins
It's been such a great run - 38 wins in four years and four January bowl games. We don't have a lot to complain about.
america beauty places
It's just completely two different worlds. But that's the beauty of America; you can come from different places and you can end up in the same place.
athletics whatever
They recruited me as an athlete. Whatever that means.
classy difference finished
You could feel the difference from two years ago, how they finished a play. (That) was a classy bunch. I have to give them all the credit.
