We are starting to learn that if we play consistently, things will go our way. The kids have worked hard since day one, but we still have a lot to work on.

We've run the ball a lot the last two years, but we're returning all of our top receivers, so we should be much more balanced.

He's one of those football-smart guys that has a nose for the ball. He understands what's going on and can anticipate plays.

All those guys are experienced and that is where we are the deepest. We'll rotate a lot of guys in and out of there.

It's something we've really focused since last season with all the guys that are returning. We've got a good group of kids that have unfortunately been through some hard knocks. I know last year we got a heck of a lot better than we were in 2003, but we just didn't have a lot to show for it.

It has been great to see him improve so much in a short period of time. Hopefully, he will continue to make his game better.

He did a lot of good things last year, and he should be better with a year's experience under his belt.
