Miami is a great team and Florida State is a great team, I think we are going to come together and there is going to be a lot of heat going back and forth.

Miami is always a great team. You know they are coming in here with a great defense but I feel like we go against the best defense everyday going against our defense in practice. If we go out there with the attitude that we are the better team we will win.

I don't get caught up in the talking that goes on before games. I go out there with the attitude that I am going to make something happen every time I get the ball. So even if they say something bad about me, I am still going to go out there and play as hard as if they didn't.

I am not going to say it to the press like the way Leonard Myers did before we played them last year. I will let him know face to face that I am better than him.

Our other receivers have played well, too. Ron Dugans stepped up and made an 84-yard touchdown. We needed that from him. Our guys don't need to worry, Pete can take it the distance but Ron can also.

I really don't think about losing. I just know we have to be the better team. We are number one and we need to go out there and play like the number one team in the country. We have been playing like number one for the past two weeks. This Saturday we need to go out there and keep on doing what we have been doing and just let them know that Florida State is number one.

Chris Weinke is a leader in that way. For example, the twos (second team) were not playing as well as we thought they were going to play on Saturday. So the coaches put the ones back in and Weinke said we need to let everybody know who is number one. It was third down, I caught a pass and got the first down. Then the next play we came back and scored. Weinke came back to the sideline saying, "That's how you play like number one. "

I appreciate that a lot, you know, them getting me the ball. I don't care whether I get it two times or three times as long as I get the ball in my hands I feel like I can do something with it. They went to a lot of pro camps and they told me they were going to find ways of getting me the ball.

It hasn't been hard playing all these new positions because I have been here a while so I know the system. I know what to do, so it's not that hard.

It feels good to still be at Florida State. I feel like I made the right decision. I got a little something on my hands right now but that did not come to the point where I said I wish I did not come back.
