I had a lot of opportunities out there but I didn't execute. I didn't play to my ability. It wasn't the pressure. I'm used to that. I wasn't throwing the ball where it was supposed to go. Some (passes) were high, some low.

I'm just trying to take charge of the offense. Last year, I was thrown in there as a freshman. You're a freshman and, of course, they look up to you as a quarterback. Verbally, there wasn't much out there. It was pretty much by example and physical attributes. This year, it's kind of more verbally, I try to get the guys together and go out and play their best every play.

(The interception) was just a poor decision, ... It's terrifying. You never want that to happen. I just didn't take care of the ball down there.

It was actually pretty easy. I really enjoyed the recruiting process, and it's something you can never expect. I just tried to remain calm throughout the whole process. I am glad to get it done before the craziness really starts.

It's mostly in the spread periods for the defense and trying to give the defense a look for the spread teams that come up (this season).

It's always in the back of our mind.

It's always in the back of our minds. We need to focus on our first couple of games and deal with those teams before we get to that point.

There were some games where we left some plays on the field. But now, when big plays present themselves, we're clicking.

There were a lot of opportunities out there, and I just didn't execute, ... It wasn't the pressure. I'm used to that. The ball wasn't there where it was supposed to be. A couple of (passes) were high. I just didn't come out and execute today.

They stopped us a couple of times but we knew once in a while you're going to get a play and you have to hit it, ... It's a great victory. This means we're coming back. We're bouncing back in the Big Ten.
