Opportunities are running out, and this is the do-or-die situation when the ball is in your hands, and you can either help your team to victory or not. And so I want to be in those situations. I think about them, and almost look forward to them.
My thing is to be ready to pitch every five days and give my team a chance to win.
If you think individual, that's how you're going to come off. I've always given 'team' a chance.
You can't join a team and give up on it because you lose a few games or things aren't going well.
I've had some good games and bad games. I think I've been putting our team in situations to win most games in the fourth quarter. That's been one of my goals. But I have to improve my play in all aspects for us to have a chance to do well in the playoffs.
It's not all about getting one guy into the end zone. It's about getting the team into the end zone, putting up points and winning games.
I'm upset. You prepare and hope that you go out there in a big game and big situation and play well, and put your team in a situation to win. And today I didn't do that. I didn't play well. I didn't make enough plays. I made too many mistakes for us to win today.
I played at LSU stadium a few times, and things were rowdy and fans were yelling things. In the SEC, the quarterback is going to get harassed in those big stadiums. But I don't know if I've ever played in a place where a team had reason to dislike me.
