On playing with a cast
“It was pretty good. It was a little bit different and something I had to go through, but I enjoyed it. It was a battle, but we did our jobs, guys did good, and the cast held up.”

On post season injury work
“Most likely, but it’s not really my focus right now. It’s more, how I am going to block USC and help my guys up front.”

On injuries on the O-line
“It is next man up. Everyone is being taught the same thing and being coached the same way, guys are holding each other to a higher standard even though now it’s younger guys coming in or guys with less starts. That’s kind of how we’re piecing the puzzle together right there, but it’s working out, guys are enjoying it and we’re having fun with it. It just sucks when you lose two guys like Gunnar (Gottula) and Teddy (Prochazka).”
