Lights out. Couldn't be more happy for him, happy for us. He took to that. It was a conversation. We were having some tailback depth issues. I said, hey, when we're working on the hand-offs with the running backs would you please just take a couple as a running back. It looked so natural, and he's gotten better each week, and I think he's on the path to being a big-time running back.Offensive Coordinator Andy Ludwig on Ja'Quinden Jackson's transition to running back
It's so important. That's what they're looking for now, and you've got to adapt yourself to the game and what people are looking for. Last year I did exceptionally well, but this year I think my numbers have doubled so far this season.Micah Bernard on being a complete running back

You know, we needed to kind of break that seal a little bit and see what we kind of had, and it was something that we had to face the adversity and it was something we overcame, and overall we ended up here and that's what we have been working for.Braeden Daniels on how the offensive line has improved since game one
Just unwavering belief. I believe in this team. I believe in what the coach's game plan is, just unwavering and not going away from it and just falling back on our training when it is times of chaos to make sure that you are prepared for whatever comes.Cameron Rising on his confidence in the team

I think, I can't speak for everyone on the team, but last year it was not the best feeling walking away from that game with a loss, a game that has so much prestige and tradition throughout college football. Last year was awesome to be able to get there. We're coming here, we want to get this W and want to walk away with that same feeling we had in the Pac-12 Championship game. So to get another first historic win for the program.Devaughn Vele on what a Rose Bowl win would mean
