On a potential 4-0 start:
“I’m sure if we do win, people will start talking a little bit better about us, but I’d rather them not. So far, they’ve been talking bad about us, and we’ve been doing well. Keep treating us like dirt, and we’ll just keep playing football.”
On losing a game in the last 10 seconds:
“It sits with you, it sits with you a while. I know it happened to me when I was a freshman against Notre Dame. I guess you kind of use that as fuel to feed your fire, but it’s a new year, and regardless of how mad you are, you still have to come out and play the game.”
On Toby Gerhart:
“I’m happy he’s getting pub. He’s the best back in the Pac-10. The greatest. I hope that everybody believes that. I’m looking forward to playing him this week to show what I can do against the greatest back ever.”
