I expect to do everything I can to help the team win the Texas game.
I don't think it will be any different. A game is a game wherever you play it. This means a lot because it's another chance to gel with your teammates. Last year, I wasn't able to play in the seniors' last game. So this means a lot.
I don't think it's scary. I think it makes the game a lot more breathtaking, a lot more urgent for both teams.
He is a smash-mouth kind of player who will hit you when he gets a chance. You gotta be on the edge every time you see him.
What I saw was Ted (Ginn Jr.) running a post. It was a bad decision. I shouldn't have looked his way because there was so much congestion.
Guys came off the edge, and I was just trying to stay alive. I saw Gonzalez pop open down the sideline, and I just tried to get him the ball as fast as I could.
I admire tough guys. All around, he's a great quarterback. He makes plays when he has to. He's pretty much the complete package. So I don't think there's a lot of difference between the two of us. He's leading a school with great tradition and so am I.
I feel like I have grown in front of everybody. From a knucklehead young guy to hopefully an up-and-coming wise senior who can lead this group of guys.
We understand each other the whole way around. (He's) like my baby brother in the sense of how we've grown up together.
Sitting out last year's bowl game, I didn't think about that as much as you probably think I did. This year's group of guys on the field was the most important sending them out with a victory today.
Oh, yeah. When you have an understanding it is not just about you, the best will come out of you. I don't regret anything that has happened in the past because it's helped me become the person I am now.
The tradition between the two schools is unrivaled. It's so rich, goes back so far, in a sense it can't be matched. There are only a couple of other schools in the nation with this much tradition. Hopefully, this can go down as one of the great games.
It was about keeping it alive. Just keep it going and get some points.
