- "I changed my philosophy when Lane (Kiffin) came here. We said we got to outscore them."
- "We don't control the ball on offense, we score."
- "I grew up with the idea that you play good defense, you run the ball, you control vertical field position on special teams and you're going to win. Whoever rushes the ball for the most yards is going to win the game. You're not going to win anything now doing that."
