We haven't been playing up to our capabilities lately. A win like this, a win at Syracuse ... I mean, we were up 24 in the Carrier Dome. That says something about who we are.

We've just got to get better by using these games. Personally, me, yeah, I want to get those big games. I liked those games in Maui. I'm still going to play hard against Quinnipiac, but next week we start a bigger, real-deal season.

That was the first thing I said when I got back in the locker room, I can't wait until Monday. It's a big game, national TV.

I'm just earning my minutes, I knew I had the capabilities to play here, and it was just a matter of going out and doing it. Finally I'm doing it and I'm even more hungry to do even more, there are more things I can do.

I don't even really remember what happened. I just put my elbow back and I guess I hit him. It wasn't intentional. I was just playing hard.

It was like the last 15 minutes of the Syracuse game. We played hard and we got into each other.
