On mental preparations for playing UMass…

"Just going into the game like any other. We try to prepare for each game like it's the biggest game or a championship game, so really just trying to focus on how we can get better and also how we can execute the right way against the opponent."

On remaining calm when the ball is in the air…

"You just have to stay poised. Especially if you're behind the receiver, you have to stay poised. You can't create contact too early, or they'll call a flag. It's really just looking at the right things and knowing when to time it to make the play and to get the ball up."

On disguising by lining up on the line of scrimmage…

“It is definitely a good thing. We try to do a good job at disguising so the quarterback doesn’t know where we are covering, so he doesn’t know where to attack. We try to give him different looks to try and confuse him.”

On staying healthy in a potential 17-game season…

“At this point in the season, everyone is going to have aches and pains. I cannot really complain about that, for the most part I feel fine. Playing a 17-game season, it is going to be a lot on the body, but we do get to play more football. That is the fun about it.”

On the difference playing UMass and Tennessee…

“I think every week, it's more about what we do, focusing on us every week and seeing how we can get better. I treat every week the same. Our offense line is still going to be in there tonight watching film for two hours, still going to be there on Wednesday watching film for two hours, so every week is the same to me. I think it's about focusing on us and seeing what we can improve on.”

On fighting through injury at Ole Miss and coming back against Tennessee…

“It was frustrating, it didn't go how I wanted it to go. I tried to go out there and do what I could do and ended up not being able to do what I thought I could do. But this weekend, that game means a lot to me. I grew up a huge Tennessee fan, everybody knows, my family is Tennessee fans, half of them still don't talk to me. But that game meant a lot to me, being able to do that and our fans coming out and showing out like they did was huge.”

On the improvement of the offensive line’s level of play against Tennessee…

"I'm sure health is tied into it somehow, but I think it's a mindset thing. We learned real quick against Ole Miss if you don't show up to play against a defensive line of that caliber, you're going to get embarrassed and knowing that Tennessee also had a very high caliber defensive line we knew we had a test in front of us and we knew after that last week we had to improve a lot."

On maintaining his role of leadership…

"Trying to be more vocal with the guys, especially the offensive line, telling them to control what you can control. There's stuff in the game that you can control and there's stuff you can't control and trying to keep everybody levelheaded, not letting them get too high or too low. When things don't go our way there's a lot of football to play. So just being a vocal guy on the team."
