If we play with the type of tempo that we did in the first half, then we're going to be tough to beat. We were really hustling and beating them to the ball.

He was pretty impressive. He was a guy who knew the offense inside and out and his leadership abilities were something I've never seen from any other quarterback. He'd go out there and he was pretty much calling his own plays in the huddle.
