"He has so much poise. You can't run that offense with that much activity and that many chances to make a mistake and not thrown an interception unless you have big-league poise. That means the game is slowing down for him when it's speeding up for everyone else. You have to like that."
~ Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin
