Famous quotes by Zach Miller:

"It happens in football. You don't get the ball for whatever reason, either the quarterback doesn't see you or you're just not open. A lot of times I was staying in to block, that's part of it as well."

"I don't know what it's like to be a quarterback, ... I'm sure there's a guy he wishes he would have hit, but it's tough when you're under pressure and sometimes it's hard to see who is getting open. He's doing the best he can to spread the ball around. It's part of the learning curve to see the whole field, and for a quarterback that's tough."

"It was nice to catch a few balls and have a pretty good game like that, ... It felt good to be really healthy for a full game."

"It's tough to play when I was worried about my shoulder, and then my ankle was giving me problems, ... It's hard to play as hard as you can like that as opposed to when you're healthy. It makes a big difference."

"I have to go day by day and see how it feels."

"USC did a good job of keeping me covered, putting a guy on me (at the line to slow his release) and making sure they knew where I was at all times,"

"It's definitely a good time, ... We've got a lot of guys dinged up. After a few games you always get a few guys with some injuries that will put them out a week or two, so it'll be good to get most of those guys back."

"It's definitely a good time. We've got a lot of guys dinged up. After a few games you always get a few guys with some injuries that will put them out a week or two, so it'll be good to get most of those guys back."

"I hoped I would win when I entered, but I didn't actually think I would win."
