“They didn’t tell me that, but that’s awesome. Just a big shout to my O-line and receivers. They make it easy on me.”

Lawrence on the balance of the offense  

“That makes it tough for a defense. They have to pick one. Are they going to stop the run, stop the pass? It makes it easier on us when we can do both so well.”

Lawrence on the fun of the rivalry game

“It’s just fun. Every week obviously a team wants to beat you, but with a rivalry there’s a little something extra. It’s fun to prepare all week for these guys and knowing how big of a game it is. Also it’s the last game of the regular season, so to be able finish the season that way was great.”
