On improving against explosive plays to prepare for Texas…

"We talk about it every week. Being able to win your 50-50 balls, your 50-50 match ups, that's something we're going to go out to practice and work on today, a lot, and something we stress every day. We talk about it every week. The number one way to eliminate explosive plays is your effort and your technique, obviously. The overall effort and running to the ball, that's how you eliminate explosives."

On working from being a walk-on to a consistent player…

"I think, in terms of me, I've always had that confidence and belief in myself, but I've had a lot of help and support through family and friends and coaches along the way who've encouraged me and given me that confidence too, when I might've lacked it. It's easier for me when I'm playing against guys who are very similar and give it their all every day at practice and having confidence in them. It helps me when I know where my help is on the field and just the great coaching staff that we have here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

On his analysis of Texas’ offense…

"It's another great SEC opponent. They have a very explosive offense. Great skill players, great running back, great quarterback, but thankfully so do we and we see that every week in practice. It's like every other week, the work that we've put in on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, is going to give us the confidence to go out there and do what we need to do."
