I think the good thing is we have (Notre Dame's former) staff. They've told us a lot about them. We went over it (Sunday) and they told us what they like to do, that'll help a little bit. We'll know their strengths and weaknesses and, hopefully, what they like to do.
He is there for a reason. He is going to make some throws and he has some athletes out there who can catch the ball.
He has a goal that he has and knows how to get there and will do anything to get there. He has brought a whole different attitude and that's what we needed at U-Dub. He's going to be there for a long time.
They got in some pretty big plays. I thought we were stout in getting them into third down and in second-and-long, but they made some pretty big plays.
They're a good 1-2 punch, probably the best in the nation. But I thought we did a real good job. We don't have anything to be disappointed about. We'll take a look at this film and try to get better, and I think we'll learn from this stuff. We've just got to come out playing, that's it.
He has a lot of emotion. He's a young guy, but he brings a lot of vocal leadership to the team. He makes a lot of plays. He's still learning a little bit, but he can get out there and play.
They did a lot of things we had seen before, but they've just got a lot of weapons on their team.
Last year we wanted things to come to us. With coach Willingham, we know we have to go out and get it. You can't do it the easy way, you have to go out there and get it.
We have a lot better game plan. We'll feel more comfortable playing against them this year, especially being at home.
