Things happened. There was a chance. I didn’t want to go that far from home.

I always want to complete at least 60 percent of my passing and have a good touchdown-to-interception ratio, so I’m always working on that,

If I think backward, I’m going to go backward.

I want to show the world I’m not the person some people make me out to be.

We went into halftime and the coaches made a lot of great adjustments. They called the right plays and we just went out in the second half and tried to make it happen.

It was great. It was everything I expected. We could have done a little more on offense to help ourselves, but N.C. State is a great team and they were bringing the dogs.

We watched their defensive line, and we noticed that they weren’t that athletic. I just wanted to pick up chunks of yardage. There were a couple of designed runs, but for the most part, I...

Michael Jordan in pads.

I feel very in control. It’s just breaking the huddles and getting the guys to the huddle, and getting a snap count called correctly and know where to go with the ball.

This gives our guys a lot of confidence, by getting two wins in other people’s stadiums. It’s going to be big when we go back home (this) week.

I won’t have the yellow [no-hit] jersey on now [like in Tech’s preseason drills], and I’m finally going to be able to make some plays with my feet, … I feel pretty stable with our...

I just told the guys that we’re going to be OK. We drove down the field there a couple of times and couldn’t get it in. All of a sudden, we just started executing.

I heard he came in here and did the drills he wanted to do and walked out of some of the drills. I’m not that kind of guy. I’m going to finish my drills and...

It was an accidental play. I didn’t mean to do it on purpose. I went over to apologize to him and everything’s OK.

Their front four is very dominant. We’re going to try to do just the basic things, try to get them to jump offsides and just try to mix things up on them.

To me, this is probably one of the greatest opportunities that you could ever think about, … I believe everybody that plays football has a dream of playing on Sunday nights, and what better chance...

I felt like I could go another four quarters if I had to.

Some kind of bad guy, like the villain.

We got the win, so it doesn’t matter, … But otherwise, the three interceptions made my night terrible. I don’t like that at all.

This week I concentrated more on staying in the pocket and getting the ball out of my hands, … I didn’t want to take any unnecessary licks like I did last week.

The defense has been giving us great opportunities.

Our fans are the 12th man. Wherever we go, they’re going to be there, and they’re going to be cheering and yelling. No matter how many guys a stadium seats, they’re going to be there.

I just had to prove that I was responsible enough to be the starting quarterback, … that I won’t be there one day and the next day I won’t be around.

I had a couple of forced throws. But we got the win.

I’m not surprised, I’ve been playing quarterback all my life. I think this system fits well with me and I’ve been having fun with it.

It seems they put all their confidence into their cornerbacks, so we’re really going to see how good they are,

This time around, we just executed our plays a little more and (the comeback) happened.

That’s what I need. I need to be walking on a thin line, making sure every decision I make is the right decision.

I apologize for letting my emotions get the best of me Saturday, … What I did was wrong and I am sorry.

It was everything I expected, … I could’ve done a little better throwing the ball. But they have a great defense.

I’ve been counting down the days for this, … Now it’s almost here. I’m loving it.

Beamer said. ”They’re winning kids. They’re humble kids. They’ve got a lot of ability. You like being around them. They’re in control on the field. That’s about everything you like out of a quarterback.

One fumble slipped out of my hands. The other fumbles was my ball security and me being reckless out there.

We drove down there a couple of times and just couldn’t get in. I think we just started executing and went down the field with a lot of confidence. And that’s what made it better.

I have never owned a gun. I don’t carry a gun. I have no idea why the police came to my house and arrested me later that night. I had a cell phone and someone...

I always wanted to be the opposite of Mike. I never wanted to be on the same team. I’m always trying to get a shot at him. I want to beat him. You always want...

I really can’t tell yet how people feel about me. But why wouldn’t people have an open mind about me? I’m not a bad guy and I plan to tell the truth.

It definitely was embarrassing because that’s not our style of play. We came out here and did the same thing in the (Atlantic Coast Conference) championship game. No teams can win with penalties. I don’t...

That kind of hurts me. Maurice and Lawrence were definitely guys who had a bad past. They’re not even in the league anymore. But I’m a hard worker. I’m going to keep on fighting through...
