It was frustrating. It was kind of like last week [against Duke], when I was on the sidelines. You really can't help your team on the bench. The only thing that you can do is root.

It just comes from not doing anything and eating my momma's cooking. After my surgery, I was in the 240s, but I started eating a lot of junk food and it must have stored as fat in my body. I gained a lot of weight.

It means we can play with the big dogs. It's a big confidence boost.

It was real tense. We just needed someone to make a play.

I had some pressure [on that play]. I threw my hand in his face. That was all I could do. They weren't running at me today.

It was my first time playing outside linebacker, this weekend, so it's kind of hard to pick up everything in one week. Conditioning was a factor out there also.
