First of all Barrick why don't you give an evaluation on your performance versus Louisana-Lafayette.
It wasn't the best performance, but I feel like we established a lot early in the game. We were able to execute some of our specific plays that we put in for this game. I felt like it was a better performance offensively. We are just trying to improve each game.
How do you like the atmosphere at Robertson Stadium, the fans, the band, the cheerleaders and the feel of our home games?
I love it. Everything feels like it is growing year by year. Last year I don't remember seeing as much red in the stands and all the people. I looked up one time and was amazed that we were getting that much support. Hopefully everything keeps going well and people keep supporting us.
After two good games how do you feel about leading the Cougars into Memorial Stadium against the Longhorns?
I feel good it is one of those games that has been talked about for a long time. It is a great opportunity to go in there and face the Texas Longhorns, by them being nationally ranked. It is a great opportunity for us to get up there and try to get an upset.
When you roll out and passing do you look to run as soon as you can't see any of your receivers?
Actually when I'm rolling out I believe a lot of times, and my coaches tell me this all the time, the run seems to pop open early because I'm rolling out. A lot of times I continue to look down field for my receivers and my coaches tell me why didn't you run for 15 yards instead of waiting on your receivers to try to get open down field. Basically I just try to wait and look for my receiver to pop open.
When you do start to scramble do you like to see one of your receivers go long and try to hit them deep?
Yes I love that. First of all, when I scramble I try to keep my view down field to see if anything is going to pop open. I feel like that is one way that we make big plays.
