Things happened. There was a chance. I didn't want to go that far from home.
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'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 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.
Our fans are the 12th man. Wherever we go, they're going to be there, and they're going to be cheering and yelling. No matter how many guys a stadium seats, they're going to be there.
I had a couple of forced throws. But we got the win.
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.

It was great. It was everything I expected. We could have done a little more on offense to help ourselves, but N.C. State is a great team and they were bringing the dogs.
That's what I need. I need to be walking on a thin line, making sure every decision I make is the right decision.
It was an accidental play. I didn't mean to do it on purpose. I went over to apologize to him and everything's OK.
I don't feel like I was forcing things. Sometimes I had to get rid of the ball and hope my receivers made a play. Unfortunately, they didn't.
I felt like I could go another four quarters if I had to.
We watched their defensive line, and we noticed that they weren't that athletic. I just wanted to pick up chunks of yardage. There were a couple of designed runs, but for the most part, I just tried to pull it down and get what I could get.
