“Growing up, my quarterback coach was my father. I call him every day and talk to him about it all. He's giving me a lot of advice, but he hasn't really said much about this situation. I have to prepare myself to be ready for whatever the coach calls. I'm ready to go. I just do whatever I can at practice everyday to get better.”
“When you come in, you kind of see all these guys who are tremendous athletes. In high school you don't see that many good athletes. I think I am going to have to work at it every day at practice and get better each day. I can't make the same mistakes twice that I made the day before.”
“The input from younger people is extremely important to us. We have heard some concerns that the city of Ames isn't appropriately catering to the 18- to 25-year-old group.”
“I'm not thinking about any of that right now. I'm just going to enjoy this. I'm so proud of our seniors, and to come out and take them out with a game like this is great.”
“It's easier said than done, but that's my challenge for this week, to stay calm and not think about the big situation. You can't get all hyped up. At my position, you have to relax and focus on the game plan.”
