We weren't thinking about the shutout until the end of the game. We were just trying to work hard. Work hard and try to play hard.

It was a lot of hard work, this team is founded on hard work, first and foremost. We battle and get through games by working hard.

I could do that. I have been thinking that way since I got here. Hard work is how you turn things around. I hope this will be our year to go to a bowl and I can be a big part of that.

What they try and instill in us is to work hard, stay humble and just keep working. That's what we did last year and it paid off.

It's hard work every day — taking countless reps listening to your coach, trying not to get frustrated. But I learn from each mistake.

We went to work. Hard work.
