I have to go back to fundamentals during the week. There are some things I need to correct, but it shouldn't be too hard to fix them.

I'm an athlete playing baseball and football, which is the proper way to say it. I love both of them. I'm not worrying about making a decision.

I'm surrounded by the right people. I've got a lot of good family and friends, two great head coaches. It will be a tough decision but not a bad one to have.

Any time you understand that the receivers are going to be a big part of the game, you've got to take that weight upon your shoulders and you've got to make some plays and make some big catches. I think the receiving corps did pretty good.

It's really been great. What I've won or been recognized for, I share with my teammates. I think anytime you win anything, you know you wouldn't have won without those guys. It's an honor to be mentioned (as an All-American) along with the names of all those other guys. It's an honor to represent the school and the team. Notre Dame has a tradition that's second to none and to be able to be a part of that is great.

The Big House' is 'The Big House', but there's ways to prepare for it. I think we're pretty adjusted to it. We go week-in and week-out with crowd noises in big stadiums, so I think we'll be fine with it.

Everyone knows Brady's always had the arm. He's always had the physical talent. He's always been a smart quarterback. But once Coach Weis got here, he kind of instilled a mentality in Brady to let him know he's got that skill.

It's going to be exciting - especially being a Big East game - coming home and getting that first start of the year. We'll see, hopefully it'll be a good opener on Friday under the lights.

It?s kind of an understanding between Brady and the receivers that being taller just creates an advantage in different situations. There?s times you can be covered but have a few inches on the guy, (and it) pretty much equals being uncovered.

They made more plays than us on offense and defense.
