“He's a great player, man, and we love him. He's a leader out there; he gets all of us going. To see that happen, and it being on one of his best performances as a college player, that's really sad. It brings tears to my eyes. We're all going to have to step up.”
“I guess his nature is just trickling down to us that this game is just as big as the Vanderbilt game or the Troy game. Everything starts at the top and flows on down, I guess, and that's how we're carrying ourselves.”
“I think he still has a great career ahead of him. I don't think it's over for him, yet. If he continues to work hard up there, I think he'll have his shot to go play at the next level.”
“I think he's becoming a leader. He's just doing what the coaches ask him to do. I just think he's trying to get the offense down right now. Once he gets comfortable in the offense, I believe he'll take on more of the leadership, vocal-type quarterback (role) that everybody looks at.”
