Our D-linemen are pretty good about doing what they have to do.

So far I think we've got after it this year. I think we've been flying around the football. I think our defense is pretty fast for the most part. We like to hit people and we've been doing that pretty well this year.

I think people probably thought our defense was going to be down a little bit. We lost a lot of defensive linemen and a lot of experience at the linebacker position.

I just want to win a couple matches. I had a pretty easy draw, but then it got tough because they had to redraw my bracket, so I just want to win a couple matches and go as far as I can — basically just go down there and have fun and win if I can.

We're working on the passing game. The backs are pretty quick. We'll have to throw a little more [than last year]. We got up to 6 or 7 percent passing last year, we're looking at 15 percent this year.

It's a great feeling. It's pretty much indescribable.
