It was no big deal. It didn't affect my vision and I could breathe OK.

I tried to walk it off a little bit and my balance was a little off. My vision was clear, my mind was clear, but I had a little bit of a balance issue. I thought I got it corrected and I didn't see any reason for me to come out of the game.

They had stuff to say at the bottom of the pile. I don't think it was anything personal, it was just football. The first sack the guy comes up to me and says he's going to be in my face all day. They were just playing mind games.

That's what happens when you play the No. 1 (defense) in the nation. It was tough out there, and we just didn't get it done.

They have a great defense. They were probably trying to intimidate me some. They were saying stuff on top of the pile, but that kind of stuff has been going on ever since I've been playing football. It wasn't anything personal.

I know a lot of people see Jimmy Williams against our receivers as a mismatch. But we see it as, if you want to go one-on-one with our guys, well, we're going to try to go after that.
