front game goal late line matter pulled seen sees somebody three year
I haven't seen any frustration, I really haven't. I pulled him over late in the (Indiana) game and told him to just keep going because I think it's just a matter of time. There have been probably three (runs) this year where he sees nothing but goal line in front of him, and somebody dives and just nips his toes. But he'll get some of those before the year is over.

beat coast momentum remember swing ten west win
I can remember through the '80s, no one in the Big Ten could out to the West Coast and win and then in the '90s, they couldn't beat us. It's cyclical. It's a swing in momentum in conferences.
I couldn't think of a better way to go out.

cherish dealt favorite football game great guess hit john love mean players seeing takes water win
I don't mean to be short, but we have dealt with this all year. I guess it was when the water hit me on the back when the game was over. That's it. There is nothing like seeing a quarterback take a knee. I love that play. That's my favorite play in football when John takes a knee. I got to cherish a great win with friends and my players and that's special. I couldn't find a better way to go out.
blame calling fault flat gave kicked swift three
I'm going to take the blame on that one ... because I called the swift kick. We should have just kicked it deeper. We flat out gave them three points. It's my fault for calling it.
