He had great composure and made great plays throughout the game. He was not apprehensive at all. He wasn't looking for some safe game to get his confidence back.

We practiced very well for that game, but I wasn't aware of the hangover from the BCS thing until the night before the game. This year, we've told everybody that the game on Thursday is the only thing that matters. That's where you get a chance to make a stand.

Throughout the game we had chances to make plays and pull away, but we just didn't do it.
