Fisch on de Laura: “ the best quarterback that I've ever been around in college football. I love the fact that he's a sophomore. ... He's making really, really good decisions. He's learning our offense better and better. Sometimes I feel like we have like this pitcher-catcher I give him a signal and he shakes me off, give him another signal. He would never have done that early on. But now he's feeling more comfortable in what we want to get done. And I feel more comfortable.
