Our young guys are winners. They want to keep on going. They're competitive guys. They've played against some great competition before they got here, and they're going to keep doing what they're doing.

He's the leader of the team. He came back with a different attitude to make our team better. It's working. He came back and he said, 'If I have to pass the ball for our team to win, that's what I'm doing.' He's still going out there and making plays for his team.

I don't want to say we take it as being proud. We take it as we can be better. We've got to No. 6, but at the same time our record can be better.

There are guys that work really hard. They are working out and playing and trying really hard. The opportunities haven't presented themselves to everybody yet. I believe there is a legitimate source.

We try to get the ball to him as much as possible. He's a great player. He's been doing it all year.

I don't think we're close (to playing our best) yet. I think we took a step down with our defense. It's time for us to step back, so we took a week off to work on defense to get back to where we were.

A lot of guys are putting time into working out more this year. They know what happened last year. Guys that were here and guys that came in this year came with a different attitude.

Its more physical, a lot of transition and one-on-one. I think the main thing is that guys are just more aggressive and physical.

It was tough. He was the one who was going out there and making plays for everybody. He's the energy guy. We feed off him. But it was time for us to step up and make plays.
