He's taking it OK. He understands he's still a young guy. He has a lot of football to play. He's waiting to see if he can make it back for a bowl or not.

That drive was all about heart. Derrick was kind of upset at halftime because he felt like he could do some things on the outside, but we weren't getting him the ball. I told him to be patient.

It was tough feeling like you could do some things better than the other guy, but at the same time it was tough on Zack Mills, too. He's a great quarterback, and I learned a lot from him. ... I just think that God put me here for a reason, and if I can handle this, I can handle anything.

Don't let him fool you. He loves the attention.

It's just finally getting the opportunity to do what I like to do. This offense being so wide open, I can throw it to any receiver.
