"Bryce is a very good athlete, he's a very good player. You could see how he extended plays throughout the game with his feet. We'd huddle up, we'd send an extra guy and he'd figure out a way to get out, or he'd find a way to elude a defender and [make a play] ... I hope he wins the Heisman."
"Throughout the game, the way he talked to his players, the way he led them and kind of demanded the offense, you could tell he is a one-of-a-kind player ... He's got a really good arm on him, yeah, but the way you can tell he leads that team and commands that offense. It was fun to be able to play against a good player like that."
Earned the starting job at quarterback and has become one of the most dynamic passers in all of college football.
