On how he feels mentally and physically heading into the season:
“I feel really good, mentally I feel really good. I feel like my head is in a good spot right now. My body-- I feel 100% healthy. I feel ready to go.”
On his mentality going into the Georgia Tech game:
“I'm excited to come into this game, it's an exciting beginning to the season. It's been a long offseason of playing against the same opponent. It's exciting to go against a new opponent in Georgia Tech. Just coming into the season-- I'm just excited for game one. All the hard work I put in over the offseason, I'm excited to go out and display it.”
On watching last season’s film:
“There's definitely a lot of mistakes where I wish I could've done better and fundamental wise just different plays in the game, decision making, going back on it. It's always good to watch and see the different mistakes but also see the stuff you did well in the game. There's a lot of stuff I thought I did good, there's also a lot of stuff I messed up on.”
On how he sees himself this year versus last year:
“I think I see a totally different guy, a guy that's a lot better from the last game vs. Georgia Tech. Someone that's gone through it and someone that's gotten a lot better throughout the offseason and all the hard work put in.”
On the quality of the team this season:
“Everyone on this whole team, not just offense, defense, we've all put in the work over the summer and spring. We've all tried to get better, and we've definitely gotten better on the offensive side of the ball. I think when you're talking about from a year ago, I thought we were in a really good place a year ago, and then I look back now it's totally different-- it's a totally different thing. I think, ‘wow, I thought last year was good?’ We were in a good spot mentally and physically, but I think this year it's in a totally upward direction, and it's even better than last year. A lot comes with the maturity of the team.”
