I'm going to get to play, so that's good, ... I'm just going to have to come off and be ready when my opportunity comes in the game. I'm going to be cold coming off, but I just have to go in there and compete, play my game and have fun.

It wasn't the best offensive game we could have had. Everybody wants to do better than that, but we won and that's all that matters. It's only going to get better. There ain't nowhere to go but up.

We expected that coming in, because we wanted to establish a physical presence on the O-line. To tell you the truth, I really don't care as long as we win. It's not high school anymore where you're looking to put up stats. We're all about the W.

This is the kind of opportunity I've been working for my whole life, ... I thought I could have played better, but I think I did all right as a whole. You need a continued number of reps to really get into a rhythm. This will be my first time to get significant playing time.

This is the kind of opportunity I've been working for my whole life. I thought I could have played better (against TCU), but I think I did all right as a whole. You need a number of reps to really get into a rhythm. This will be my first time to get significant playing time.

I have a great opportunity to go out there and do some things to establish myself. I'm really excited. This is what I've been working for. It's what I've been trying to do all my life and now it's here.
