My first option wasn't there so I had to find somebody. (Rice) was open so I hit him. It was a three-step route and I had to get out of there. I didn't have much time even with a three-step drop.

It was something I wasn't expecting to hear this early in camp.

I never saw him play. I'm too young.

We played hard, we played tough. We had our chances. I thought I did some good things, but we didn't get the win. We definitely played better than we did last week. That's all we want to do – get better every week. I thought we took some good strides this week. It's a tough loss but we have to keep going.

Of course, I was very excited [when Spurrier joined the Gamecocks]. I thought it'd be a great opportunity for me and for this university. He's very demanding as far as technique and throwing on rhythm, things like that. He's a good coach. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

At first you're kind of in awe of him, but once you get to know him, he's a great guy and a great coach.

I had him. It was a little out route. I threw a little too far. That's the way it goes.

They did recruit me, but I decided that I wanted to go out of state. Plus, I wanted to play early.

You have to take what Coach Spurrier tells you to do and just go out there and do it. It's a lot of fun playing for him.
