It's always been a dream for me to play in the Pac-10, and I'm happy that it's happened. Now we can move on. I'm just ready to play someone new besides our own defense. ... I really don't see [starting] as a big deal. It's more about going out there as a team, and I need to hold up my end of the bargain.

We have the personnel to run the new offense well. This definitely will be an asset for our team. We're learning it slowly, but were getting a grasp of it. It can only get better.

We all love Steve. It was sweet watching him do his thing.

Some people have a rocket arm and some people can run real fast. I'd rather just learn where I can exploit the other team, where they're lacking.

It's just nice to know we have one of the best facilities on the way. This will bring us up to the level of the other top teams in the country.

Not a lot of people know what goes into playing quarterback, especially on this team.
