Brady Quinn Quotations

We still talk to this day. We had a real close relationship and used to hang out as friends and everything. It's fun seeing them before and after the game, seeing how they've progressed and developed in college.

There is no question that Coach Weis sets the bar high. But he has been very sensitive to the pace at which he's been introducing his offense to us. He wants us to learn, for sure. But more importantly, he wants us to be able to execute. That will be the real test for us this season.

We're starting to form together. But at the same time, we looked kind of rusty, plus it's kind of hard to tell without pads on, to be honest.

We feel as if we are by far the best team in the tournament. Last year the tournament was tainted, and this year we are going for blood.

It's ridiculous to think that you get to play a game you love for a job you get paid for.

Tim Tebow is a great guy, but he wasn't a good teammate.

You can find the intangibles of being a quarterback in almost every profession in the world. There's nothing like it.

Touchdowns are better than field goals.

When you ask someone how they are doing, do you really mean it? When you answer someone back how you are doing, are you really telling the truth?

We live in a society of social networks, with Twitter pages and Facebook, and that’s fine, but we have contact with our work associates, our family, our friends, and it seems like half the time we are more preoccupied with our phone and other things going on instead of the actual relationships that we have right in front of us. Hopefully, people can learn from this and try to actually help if someone is battling something deeper on the inside than what they are revealing on a day-to-day basis.

When you come back like that, you've got a lot of emotion and you feel pretty good about yourself. And then when you can't come through with the victory, I think there's the ability to be a big letdown.

Like he?s been saying all week, we?re here for a business trip. We want to win this game, so the biggest thing is we need to put emphasis on the fact that we?re prepared and rested and taking on things the way we would be if we were playing in South Bend right now.

I didn't notice any (difference) in particular. He's a great player with a great career ahead of him. He showed up today and had a great game.

I don't think he's worn all of them at the same time.

He has helped me through a ton of highs and lows. Just having him there, and with us being so close and being able to share the whole college experience, has helped.

He'll definitely come on and be physical with a linebacker or a defensive back or whoever.

He's a big, athletic player. He has great hands, ... He's a smart player, so he knows how to read defenses and find soft spots. He's the type of player that's able to make plays whenever we need them.

It almost has the feeling of going through two-a-days in training came, so it hasn't been a hard transition at all.

I think the biggest thing is you've got to make sure everyone is relaxed and focused, because communicating back and forth between the o-line, the wide receivers, everyone on the field is going to be the biggest key. Obviously, there's a lot that can happen when the noise level goes up. Guys start losing their focus and let other things become a focus, so that's going to be the biggest factor - making sure guys are relaxed and focused.

I think it was our best performance of the season.

I think that sent a message to start the game like that,

Physically there is a difference. He dropped a significant amount of weight, some where between 10 and 15 pounds. The biggest thing, he has a lot of stamina and can run deep routes down the field all day at top speed. He is not getting tired. He has become a huge player not only down the field, but as a possession receiver. You have seen him do some great things after catching short passes.

Our only goal was to keep putting points on the board.

It feels good, that's the way it should be. But numbers are just numbers and I'm just happy we won. A lot of hard work went into this, a lot of game-planning and a lot of scheming. It's not as easy as it looked.

It all comes down to wins and losses, and today we couldn't pull it out in the end,

That was how it was designed. It wasn't a last resort. It was designed to be a run.

We don't focus on (individual accolades). Everyone on our team looks at the success of our team as the most important factor.

With the guys we have coming back and obviously our coaching staff and kind of the foundation we've laid last year for ourselves, our goal is to do it big, win every one.

The reaction of the fans being on the field and then seeing how you kind of want it to come out, then seeing the exact opposite all in a matter of minutes. People were pretty shocked and devastated.

When you look at those Xs and Os you're pretty confident in what they are able to do.

We tried to get him the ball. That was one of the strategies we tried to do coming into the game. With his size and his ability, one of the things we wanted to do was get him the ball.

We just tried to get them the ball and let them do what they do best.

We had the mind-set to just keep putting points on the board. One of the goals coming into the game was to keep our defense off the field, knowing that their offense had a lot of firepower.

We didn't necessarily have the best day today. Looking back, it was an ugly game two years ago.

Every team wants to have that in their quarterback - someone who understands the offense and how things are supposed to go. If coach is saying that, then that's a good thing.

The way he handles quarterbacks is much more intense, a much more hands-on kind of approach, and you see the intensity not only that he brings to practice, but that he brings with the quarterbacks,

I've always been confident in myself and my abilities. At this stage of my career, having coach Weis and having as much talent as I have around me, I may be one of the cockiest guys in the nation.

So that was somewhat of a transition coming in, but it's something that has allowed us to grow as a team and an offense.

Coach Weis' scheme sets us up in favorable positions all the time. The biggest thing is the way he's taught us as far as where to go with the ball in every single situation. You've always got outlets, you've always got places to go, and that makes you feel comfortable when you're a quarterback under center.

A lot of people, commentators, you'd hear them say this or that about whether or not we were worthy of a BCS bid. But obviously things worked out. ... We're where we should be.

A lot of his plays are cool to watch just because of his effort.

A lot of guys haven't forgotten. I think that's something that a lot of guys will use to motivate themselves this week.

It's hard to give an answer to the question.

It's something that makes a lot of people upset to say the least with the fact that's how they deal with a win like that. Looking back to the season prior when we beat Michigan State, I don't think you saw any of our players sticking flags into other fields. I think that's not how we handle ourselves. It was disappointing to see that happen.

It's something that makes a lot of people upset, to say the least, with the fact that's how they deal with a win like that,

They were a pretty good team - they hung with us for a while.

I'm happy with what happened out there. It's always good to finally get out there and seeing what it's like actually being in front of everyone and actually running (Weis' offense) the first time when it actually means something.

I didn't know if it meant it was going to be a good day or a bad day.

I definitely feel comfortable with talking about that with Coach and giving him what I'm seeing out there, ... Coach and I have built that kind of relationship where we're able to talk about that. I can tell him how I feel about certain things.

He showed up today and had a great game.

He can get it there. We are all just a little tired right now from lifting and running.

He puts that pressure on us all the time.

The first two years were rough, and this year's better. But we still are working to win a national championship. Hopefully that's somewhere in the future.
