McGee: 'I was excited'

McGee and Williams were told about the change after dinner Sunday night.

"He called me in his office," McGee said. "I had no idea what he was calling me in for. Honestly, that was the last thing on my mind because Juice is a great player. He's the man. He's the quarterback. When (Zook) told me, I was in shock. But at the same time, I was excited. I knew I had the ability and my teammates believe in me as well. And Coach Zook obviously has confidence in me."
