I don't want to be stereotyped with that. I think I can be a dual threat. I'm looking to throw first.

Not many teams have the dual threat that Indiana has. Ironically, I think at times we could be one of the teams that does.

I think you can (take) seeding in the SEC and NCAA Tournament and throw it out the window. If you're not a No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the first round, to me there is no real big advantage. And I think sometimes people get wrapped up in a seed and say the higher seed should win.

He carries the ball a lot out of the shotgun and can throw the ball. He really is a dual threat for them. To be successful against them defensively, we are going to have to use our team speed because we have never faced a player this fast.

Mentally, you've just got to keep an open mind. Obviously, John had a great year and I'm behind him, I support him. You just have to stay sharp. As a two-deep quarterback, you don't get as much reps, which is tougher because it's harder to get in a rhythm.

Playing at a neutral site, you can throw all of the seeds out the window.
