crazy good win
I've been in some crazy shootouts, but never one like that. This is as good of a win as I've had.
backs happens running talented win
When we win big games, our running backs play well. This one happens to be the most talented of the ones that we had.
came defense four guys hayden kicking listened sound win
Hayden came back and said, 'Listen, I just listened to all of those guys and if we're just sound in everything we do, if we're sound on offense, we're sound on defense and we're sound in the kicking game, we'll win at least four (Big Ten) games,'
focused potential stay teams win
Many times it's the teams that stay the most focused that win the games. There's a lot of potential to be distracted.
talented teams win
We weren't very talented and (Fry said), 'We can win four.' And we did. He was right on, because there were teams that weren't very sound.

games good kept offense rewarded sneak weeks win
The offense battled, kept us in games two weeks in a row. To be rewarded the way we did and sneak out of here with a win is pretty good for these guys.

fighting winning games
We hadn't lost morale. But when you fight for four quarters, it's tough to always bounce back. The offense kept us in the game the last two weeks and to get out with a win feels really good.
athletic both bunch chance win
We didn't play particularly well and still had a chance to win both of those games. They're very athletic (teams) and they do have a lot of speed, but we're not a bunch of slugs in this league.
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.
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.
chance cherish great guess hit water win
I guess when the water hit me at the end, it kind of sunk in, that's it. Get a chance to cherish a great win with a lot of friends and great players, that's special. I couldn't think of a better way to go out.
