He's in Hollywood, that's where all the big entertainment is, so obviously that's going to be part of his college experience and everything he goes through. Obviously being in South Bend, it's not a hot spot for celebrities, so a lot of the focus when it comes to me is more or less football.

We feel as if we are by far the best team in the tournament. Last year the tournament was tainted, and this year we are going for blood.

There is no question that Coach Weis sets the bar high. But he has been very sensitive to the pace at which he's been introducing his offense to us. He wants us to learn, for sure. But more importantly, he wants us to be able to execute. That will be the real test for us this season.

It's obviously a lot more comfortable when you're calling the plays down on the field. I can come up to [ Charlie Weis ] on the sidelines and talk to him face to face. You can see his emotions, what he's thinking, by the way he's talking to you. That's something that's help me, being able to have that face-to-face with him, being able to talk with him.

It feels good, that's the way it should be. But numbers are just numbers and I'm just happy we won. A lot of hard work went into this, a lot of game-planning and a lot of scheming. It's not as easy as it looked.

Our only goal was to keep putting points on the board.
