He's worked his tail off to give himself a chance. He's accountable and dependable. He's played more than I ever thought he would have when he came here as a freshman.

I think anytime you don't handle the blitz, you're going to see it. If you handle the blitz, you won't see it.

He got banged up during the meat of our schedule and he had a rough time coming back from the high ankle sprain. That's the one piece (to the offensive puzzle), if you were to look back, you'd feel like we haven't utilized him to the fullest.

I think he's got a picture of what he wants this program to be and how he can build on something that's obviously been successful under coach Alvarez. He'll have success, but I think it will be different because he'll be able to put his stamp on it. But hopefully it will continue to grow.
