It was like having Aaron (Rodgers back) in the huddle. People play differently when they are expected to be the starter. He wasn't the backup anymore.

Personally, I'm satisfied with how the season went. You always expect perfection, but how we finished this season will set a good tone for next year.

The coaches basically put a blinder on us. As we get higher in the schedule, we know UCLA is a good team, and it only gets harder. I like playing better teams.

He's becoming a good leader for us. He knows that with Nate out, he's going to be a huge part of this team, so he's got to come through. I know he'll do it.

Brigham Young's defense did pretty much what we expected. Occasionally they brought another linebacker up and tried to change a few things.

We just keep rolling out running backs. We see Marcus or Justin in practice, and we think they look better than the running back we're playing against on Saturday.

We definitely remembered what they did to us at home the year before. We went up there with a little extra motivation, and we played pretty well against them. Not payback, just a good game.
