We went into halftime and the coaches made a lot of great adjustments. They called the right plays and we just went out in the second half and tried to make it happen.
One fumble slipped out of my hands. The other fumbles was my ball security and me being reckless out there.
I've been counting down the days for this, ... Now it's almost here. I'm loving it.
This gives our guys a lot of confidence, by getting two wins in other people's stadiums. It's going to be big when we go back home (this) week.
That's what I need. I need to be walking on a thin line, making sure every decision I make is the right decision.
We drove down there a couple of times and just couldn't get in. I think we just started executing and went down the field with a lot of confidence. And that's what made it better.
I just told the guys that we're going to be OK. We drove down the field there a couple of times and couldn't get it in. All of a sudden, we just started executing.
I love my older brother. He paved my life for me. He put my whole family on his back in college. But there's ups and downs with that. When things are going good, he's a great person to have as your brother. When bad things happen, everybody knows about it.
I just had to prove that I was responsible enough to be the starting quarterback, ... that I won't be there one day and the next day I won't be around.
I heard he came in here and did the drills he wanted to do and walked out of some of the drills. I'm not that kind of guy. I'm going to finish my drills and do everything they want me to do.
I have never owned a gun. I don't carry a gun. I have no idea why the police came to my house and arrested me later that night. I had a cell phone and someone mistook for a gun. Guns are dangerous. You never know when they might go off.
I'm not surprised, I've been playing quarterback all my life. I think this system fits well with me and I've been having fun with it.
I had a couple of forced throws. But we got the win.
I really can't tell yet how people feel about me. But why wouldn't people have an open mind about me? I'm not a bad guy and I plan to tell the truth.
