David Castillo Great Quotations

He was pressing too much. I've told him to just relax. He's a great quarterback. He did great things in high school. He just has to relax out here and have fun.

He could grade out at 98 percent and he's not worried about the 98 percent he did well. He's worried about the 2 percent he didn't do well. ... Even when he's having great games, he's hard on himself. And when he has bad games, he's even harder.

He's always been his toughest critic. He'll grade out at 97 percent and he's sitting there worrying about the 3 percent he did wrong. That's what makes great athletes and great people, in general, when you're worried about getting better. You're aiming at perfection.

He's always in our meeting rooms watching film. Even after everybody has gone home, he's sitting there watching film. I try to get on him a little bit because he's his hardest critic. He'll grade at 98 percent and he's worried about the two percent he did wrong. He beats himself up over it, but that's what makes great players. He will definitely be a great player before he leaves here.

I think, by far, he's exceeded expectations. He's made his share of mistakes but he's definitely done a lot of great things, and it's only going to get better from here.

I've been worried in the past. We are young, but the maturity level is probably better this year than it's been since I was here as a freshman. After the game ... no one was yelling at each other or complaining. That's a big change from years past ... and a pretty good sign we're going to rebound just fine. We can still finish strong and have a great season.

You're going to be sore the first few days so mentally you have to get through it. The good thing is that we have a great group of guys who have got each other's backs who watch out for each other and motivate each other.

He's progressed tremendously. The only thing I think was ever wrong with Drew was his inexperience. He was extremely mature for his age. He's a great team player and a great leader and an extremely hard worker.

We lost a lot of players to injuries. We lost three starting offensive linemen. That's tough. Our lack of experience with the younger guys playing caught up with us. We beat Miami the first game and everybody was talking about how great we were. But we had some weaknesses and we've been exposed.
