I think the game is more mental than physical. You have to be in tremendous shape, but you have to want to do it in your head. At this point in my career I didn't think I could put the mental parts there every day, and that's a big part of playing this game.

I loved the physical part of the game, ... It's the part of the game I grew up loving.

I had three things to do: being physical the whole game. Win the game. Put on the Hat.

We were able to withstand the physicality of that game really well. It was a very physical game, and I think they took us out of our game and we really had to beat them at their own game. It was just a pounding game. Our goals were finesse goals. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to do it.

I think that the recovery is mostly mental, not physical.

As long as I'm getting mental reps, I think I'll be able to go out there and execute the game plan, ... It's possible I may not practice all week. Who knows? I'm just playing it by ear right now.
