He wants to play towards your strength, and he’s going to put in plays that you’re confident in and that really give you the confidence going out there.

We’re just concentrating on playing for the Florida Gators, and being accountable for one another, and playing together. That’s how you win games – playing for each other.

It’s easier now because they can just pick out what (Florida gear) they want to wear.

I’ve just got more experience. A lot more experience now in reading defenses … being able to anticipate things. The more experience you get, the more you grow.

Two big wins gives us a great start for next season. Iowa is a first-class program and whenever you beat a team like that, it makes you very confident.

It was awful. I had a high fever and I was throwing up. Terrible. I felt just terrible.

There are many ways you can lead, … I just try getting guys and talking to them and just trying to get them confident in themselves.

Not turning the ball over is a big key to winning football games,

It was a little hard getting into a rhythm during the game,

I had guys calling me to see extra tape this summer. That was special,

It’s just fine. The main thing is being out there and playing with those guys. I never want to let those guys down. I want to be out there with them.

It was a great win for us. It was good to finally get a bowl win under our belts. Two big wins at the end of the season gives you confidence going into the off-season...

Whoever establishes the running game will set the tempo of the game, … Our running backs will have to play a big part if we want to win this game.

It doesn’t bother me that they said that, … Of course they are going to try and fire you up before the game. I won’t talk about his mom or anything, but I will try...

I have no words for it. The atmosphere and the crowd are amazing. It’s really special for the coaches, players and families.

Being a captain on this team is a big honor,

You’re just more comfortable and able to anticipate things better. That’s the major thing about the second year.

It happens all the time in football, … Guys have [knee] sprains — a lot worse than what I’ve got. It’s just one of those football things.

With Andre out and the guys behind him injured and beat up, it kind of hinders what you can do on offense.

He is a very passionate guy, … He wants everybody to get better. He wants everybody to be great.

[It’s] just normal treatment, whatever they do for a bruised shoulder, I guess, … Just icing it and keeping it on track.

A lot of guys were at that game and played in that game. I think a lot of guys are more focused now. It makes them that much more hungry I guess.

When you have pressure like that, it’s pretty hard to get your feet set to throw,

You were always a fan of the Florida Gators, especially if you played offense. They always had a big-time offense.

It was a huge win against a great team. All we’re focusing on is that we’re 3-0.

I’ve had the receivers and the running backs in here all at the same time, which is about 15 to 20 guys.

I think you have to have a running game in the SEC. You have to have that balance. Teams are too athletic and too good not to have that.

I was totally dehydrated. But once I got the IV in me, I started feeling a lot better.

I’m going to go no matter what, … I want to be out there with my guys. It’s a big game.

With Andre’s speed, he could have been one of those guys where two (defenders) have to go with him. It could have been a great advantage for us getting other guys open. That’s one of...

My shoulder is fine. It’s just a bruise. (The shot) was just precautionary. I’m going out and playing like I always do. I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing and taking...

It makes it even better when you go out and earn it. The guys respect you for it. They’ll go out and they’ll play hard for you. That’s a good feeling to have.

Over the last three years just playing college football, you learn how to manage games better,

That’s something I admire about them. They get players you don’t hear much about in high school but a bunch of them end up being drafted.

Clausen is in a class with the best quarterbacks I have seen in 27 years — with Jeff George, John Elway and Dan Marino,” Lemming said.

I was throwing the ball to him. He’s right there. He’s getting his head turned and catching the ball really well. I’m excited for him.

He’s working most of the time. But he’s my big brother, and I come to him for advice on anything, life, school. It’s a great comfort.

It’s just one of those things that takes time to go away,

He’s a versatile guy. He’s like a Fred Taylor or a LaDainian Tomlinson. He can do all those things, and that’s what we try to let him do.

He listens to his players and he does everything he can to make sure his players are successful.

[Quarterback Chris Leak is back at practice after missing most of the past week with a sprained right shoulder. Leak played Saturday against Mississippi State, but his timing and accuracy were off. He has completed...

Everybody who comes in is highly rated, highly talented. So the best thing you can do is give advice to a young guy.

Sure, whatever, … Maybe I’ll meet you. Probably not.

We made too many mistakes,

Probably the Georgia game … that’s when things started to click. We anticipated better. Everyone got a lot more comfortable and we timed things up. Right now, we’re just playing, not thinking as much.

We know what mistakes we made in the game against Iowa two years ago, and we cannot have those things happen again. Turnovers, special teams, defense, it was just a total lack of effort from...

[When the two first sat down together in January, new Florida coach Urban Meyer told rising junior quarterback Chris Leak that he planned to build the offense around Leak’s talents.] Coming from a guy who...

Since the first day, coach Meyer said I’m his quarterback. I have all the confidence that this is my team. I’m the captain of this team.

We just didn’t take advantage of our opportunities, … We made too many mistakes. Guys played their hearts out. We just didn’t make enough plays.

I’ve been a part of some tough losses and this one is right up there.
