"Playing Oregon was a great experience, a learning opportunity for us. That's one of the best teams in college
football. We can only get better from that experience, from having played them, and also having played BYU, when
you look at what BYU did to Texas. I feel more encouraged about where we are right now with who we've played
and how the guys have played."

"I think you could look at the glass is half
full. It's not half empty for David. The great
thing about him, that's two college football
starts with two good, good football teams. I
just think his upside and what he continues
to learn and how he continues to improve is
ahead of him, particularly with the schedule
as it's laid out. … I think David's best football
is definitely ahead of him."

"It was a good start to the season. We held
out many guys who we will count on later
in the season. It was a very controlled effort
and a fun way to start the season. It was
great to get the wins and hopefully we will
chalk up a few more."
