Since the first day, coach Meyer has said I am his quarterback. I have all the confidence that this is my team. I am the captain of this team. I am so confident in these guys and about this year. I am just real excited about getting going.
I went up there just to see my friends, see how they're doing. Those guys are contributing and doing a great job. I just went up there to enjoy myself.

It means you're a true Gator. Before you walk out that tunnel, touching that gator, it gives you the confidence that you have and lets you know that all the sacrifices the older guys in the 50s, 60s and 80s made gave you the opportunity to be able to touch that gator.
It makes it even better when you go out and earn it. The guys respect you for it. They'll go out and they'll play hard for you. That's a good feeling to have.
