Hopefully my bad luck is over, and I got it all out of the way. I'm looking forward now. I'm not looking in the past.

I didn't think much of the state run at the time. It was a good experience. I was just worried about each game.

I really couldn't believe it. When they told me I had to have surgery, I couldn't believe it. I was really upset. I was having a great camp, and I was really excited to get the season going. I had a couple hard days, but after that, I realized I'd have a chance to come back and help the team. I threw everything aside and dedicated myself to getting back.

I like it. I'm left-handed. I feel real comfortable over there. I had all spring to get comfortable over there again, and I'm really enjoying it.

I treat it like any other situation and try to play mistake-free. If you treat it any other way, you may overreact. You have to play with urgency but in a positive way.

You never know, it could happen. But I really believe with the coaches we have here and the players recruited here, we won't let that happen. We always try hard to make a bowl game because that's always one of our goals and we'll always make it.

Last year ? at the beginning of the year, he was a little hesitant. But last year, he became a lot more vocal. And definitely this year, he became the leader of the huddle.

I was just tested. Someone was just testing me, and I think I passed all the tests.

He's a really quick guy, he's quick off the ball and he has very quick moves. With that, he's powerful, he's really strong and he can bull right through you. All those qualities make him a great pass rusher.

If they moved me over there, that would be great. I'll play wherever. It's definitely the prestige position on the offense, and if they moved me over there, it would be an honor, and I'd play hard and live up to the responsibility.
