True confidence is not caring what others think.

In theory, apparently, there is nothing that Illinois quarterback John Paddock could do to get the start against Iowa on the road this Saturday.
Nothing is often thrown around hyperbolically.
It’s a flippant way to excuse any behavior due to unforeseen circumstances. A window into the past that oozes impossibility, rather than inevitability.
In this instance, I mean nothing in a literal sense. Paddock threw for almost 600 yards with five touchdowns and only one pick, in 1.02 games as the QB, after all-season starter Luke Altmyer left the final minute of the Minnesota due to injury.
