On heading into his first NFL start:
“Excited. It has been a long four months. I haven’t played competitive football with a game on the line and a record on the line in a long time. I’m looking forward to going out there and executing this gameplan that we have been putting together the last couple of weeks.”
On the Steelers defense:
“Talented. They have studs all over the place from D line to DBs to great linebackers. It is definitely going to be a challenge for us, but I think, once again, this gameplan that we have had a couple of weeks to prepare for, if we can go out and execute it, we will definitely find some success.
