Brian Price on the defensive playmaking ability:
“I bank on myself making plays; if I make plays, the whole defense will make plays. But we’re all counting on each other to make plays. All camp we’ve been talking about everybody stepping up. It’s not about one guy, but 11 guys working together as a unit.”

On the offensive improvement from 2008 to 2009:
“I can tell a difference. I’ve been blocked a lot of times. In game time, everybody has to flip a switch, but I can tell a difference.”
