He's starting to show some more leadership qualities. He's the quarterback. The quarterback has to direct traffic. He has to get us into our sets. He has to be able to guard the better guards every time.

I think he's comfortable as our starting quarterback.

I was never satisfied with just being here and being the starting quarterback, ... I always wanted to be the difference-maker, and it got me in trouble at times. But I'm still here and have been able to play at a high level for a long time because I believed that. And that's what's been so disappointing this year. If we lost, 30-0, then I don't think I could sit there and say that I was the difference.

We won. Each day we're building. We're 8-1, it's not a fluke. We're playing well against very good teams.

He has the range. We're just trying to get him to catch and shoot instead of putting it on the floor.

He has to play the best guard night in and night out. This is our first year with him and he's learning and fitting in.
