Our seniors can still finish 4-0 in bowl games if we win the Fiesta. That's huge incentive for us.
Congratulations, first and foremost. And just be ready when you come up this way.
The scheming today was set up for us to make big plays.
The scheme was to make big plays. The guys stepped up, the offensive line did a great job and I was fortunate to be able to connect on a couple deep passes.
Teachers make a difference. That's all I really know. I come from a family of teachers. And I wanted to touch someone's life.
A game like this helps everybody. It was a sigh of relief. Today was a great confidence boost.
The national championship is here next year. We like that.
First of all, I want to let you know that sitting out of last year's bowl, I didn't think about that as much as you probably think I did. To me, this year's seniors, this group of guys on the field, that's what it was about. I don't like taking a lot of credit for what goes on on the field because it takes 11 guys.
Every time we looked up to the scoreboard (in practice), it was up there as a reminder of how bad we got beat.
There is a whole different emphasis on how they want to take him out of the game. But that exploits other areas when they expend so much time and energy trying to take one player out of the game.
In the last calendar year I've seen him seven times. What makes him different from a lot of players is his ability to compete. I've never seen him tired. I've seen him play injured ... .
I owe a lot to the coaching staff here. We had a meeting about things on and off the field. It's the game of life. They told me great things that have helped me out.
I'm sure it's not forgotten, but you've got to move on. It's a new day, a whole different group of guys.
I believe that every time we get out on the field we should score 42 points. It's not necessarily a letdown if we don't, but we have the weapons to do so.
