I'm quite conscious that the last four games have been at home, so to go away is another big test.
That is the way a championship game is supposed to be played. Close 'till the end.
It was a good game. You win some, you lose some.
We felt Brandon would have some opportunities in this game. He needed to take advantage of them and he did. He's been playing at a high level and he's been a tremendous spark in every football game we've played.
We're going into this game thinking worst-case scenario that Christen doesn't play. We go into the week like every week preparing our kids the best we can for whoever is on the field. I'd like to think that we're not a one-man team. There are a lot of people out there who do think that Hilliard Davidson will go as Christen Haywood goes, but our kids have a lot of pride and they'll do a good job in preparing themselves no matter who's playing.
The whole year we've been fighting against the best and this is another game that shows we've got a lot of heart. Jihad made a big shot; he's got a lot of heart and he's a good player. He made a big shot. We've just got to make a few more plays at the end of the game.
This is a game tonight that we all thought that we should have. When we look at the film, there will be six or seven unbelievable things that keep happening. That kind of stuff happens to teams that don't have a lot of confidence. When things are going good, they are going good. Right now, they are not going good for us in any phase.
The mood is still good in the camp. The game against Italy coming along so soon is great for us because it is a chance to test ourselves again, put in another good performance, and hopefully get a win.
Despite the depth problem, I like this team's chances of being competitive in a very tough conference. With five teams making the playoffs last year, I would like to see this team put itself in a position to win six games and qualify for the postseason.
Anybody that can touch the ball 25 times a game and go over 1,000 yards, especially at his size ... I know the heart, ... I've seen the determination that he has. I just think that having the relationship we have now, I really appreciate it. Despite that other school down the street.
Maybe it was the Penn State game - and he did it playing tailback,
Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words, and they backhand them over the net. They love words that give them a hard time, provided they are in a context that absorbs their attention.
Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down. Children are demanding. They are the most attentive, curious, eager, observant, sensitive, quick, and generally congenial readers on earth.... Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words and they backhand them across the net.
The experience that we have just playing in the last two games is probably going to help us out a lot. And the game plan Coach Carroll prepares is going to be awesome.
