He’s a caring individual who really wants the best for you. We’re going to really miss that around here.

I wanted to come out and show really what I was made of. Good players have a tendency to come back. I really wanted to help my team.

I just was too focused on trying to win the ballgame myself. It’s a team sport, and that’s how we’re going to win, as a team.

He’s still down to earth. Everyone on our team relates to him and trusts him.

We did a great job wearing the defense down. That was our goal. We felt like if we could run successfully on these guys we could beat them.

I don’t think they’ve seen it. I don’t think many people have seen it. They’re just going to have to be prepared for it.

It’s kind of a collaboration, I guess.

I felt like I was throwing the ball good all game. … I felt good the last 21/2 weeks of practice. I went back to basics and kept it simple. That will be my deal...

A couple of those balls were a little more jump balls than I wanted them to be. The rain kind of got me a little bit. … We felt we could exploit them that way.

I just want that throw back.

We needed to stop the clock and regroup ourselves. That sack was pretty bad.

I saw my tight end kind of getting held. I thought he would be able to swim through. … That was totally on me.

I saw my tight end got held a little…I thought he would swim through. I want that (last) throw back.

Every time we go play those guys, it’s exciting.

We feel confident about moving our offense on a lot of the defenses we play. We need to establish ourselves … for us to put a lot of points on the board.

I was just hurting my team being in there. I wasn’t mobile. I needed to be out.

It wasn’t until halftime that I shut down.

I don’t really have time to think about how old he is or how many plays he’s made. I just saw he had a crease. I believe in all these guys here.

He does a good job when things aren’t there to try to turn it into a positive play. He’s not trying to get east and west as much as he would in the past. …...

We’ve come into every week with a ton of confidence. … Nobody lost their swagger. We were still Boise State. We knew we were still a very good football team.

When you see a big safety back there, it’s more of a threatening presence.

That’s kind of one of our goals around here, to get everybody involved. … As long as we’re winning, that’s our main goal.

That was our main focus, just decision-making and execution. Don’t take a sack. Throw the ball away if there’s nothing there. And just have fun.

You just keep giving it to him. He’s a huge weapon for us, and he’s a good player. Players go into slumps sometimes.
