I'm probably going to be out there the majority of the time. I'll take it like I take every other game, just prepare during the week as usual, and whenever I get in the game, I'm just going to make sure I'm efficient with everything I do.

I'm excited just to be able to go in there and play and get the feel of it. It should be fun. You just have to take advantage of the opportunity.

It was just a blessing to be able to get out there and play in the championship game. It was awesome. I don't even know what to say.

I have to make sure I go out and perform. I did all right. But I can do a lot better.

It's totally different. But it's a lot of fun. We're the same type of player.

I remember when I went there (on a recruiting visit) the coach (Steve Leach) said, 'Hey, man, you want a Heisman (Trophy) candidate throwing you the ball?' That was Jason Thomas, I think, playing quarterback. I told them I didn't want to do that, and I ended up going to Iowa State.
