Quotable:
ON BEING TABBED A HEISMAN CANDIDATE: “It is an honor and a blessing. It is not something I am focused on right now. I know I said it was on my mind, but that has dimmed down a little bit because you know it is getting closer to the season and I am ready to get things on the level and play football.”
ON THE EXPERIENCE OF STARTING FOR A FULL SEASON IN 2007:
“It is great to have a year under my belt. Last year at the beginning of the season I was not confident at all. It was a big difference being on the field periodically and being on the field all the time. I felt a lot more confident and a lot more comfortable.”
