flames hit move point
They are going to move the ball, and they are going to hit a big play on you here and there. Everything at that point comes down to how you respond. You can't let the flames become fires.
efforts focus great guy player stop sure
I'm not so sure you all-together stop a guy like Ginn. We can't focus efforts on one guy. We could if he was the only great player they had.
chemistry football great hard pinpoint team
It's been fun, especially with these guys. This football team is different. They're just different. They've got something about them. They've got some chemistry and some great things that it's hard to pinpoint the things that make champions, but this team has it in them.
assure blessed continued fortunate move nice texas university
It's really unique. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have made the move to the University of Texas and continued the streak. I don't think about it a whole bunch. Obviously, it would be nice to continue that streak. I can assure you that.

What separates him from a lot of the good ones, and why he's a great one, is he's got the mental part of the game as well as anyone I've ever been around. He does a great job of making sure everybody is in line.
found good guy guys spying
What I've found is that a lot of times, if a guy is that good that you're spying on him, he's probably better than your spy guy. We've got to have 11 guys spying on him.
anybody proud saw stopped
The thing that I'm the most proud of is that we never stopped working. We were patient. We never saw anybody get rattled.
game people
You would not want to go into this game right now with a lot of young people in your secondary.
coverage finesse game physical solid stop team throws
You've got to stop the run, be physical and then be solid in your coverage issues. You can't let a team that throws it 70 times a game make you into a finesse team. You have to be physical.
against along bush concerns cuts element nobody power stop
Bush has an element of power to go along with his speed. One of our concerns is over-pursuing against him so that when he cuts back, there's nobody there to stop him.
assure blessed continue fortunate move nice texas university
I feel very blessed and very fortunate to have been able to make the move to the University of Texas and continue a streak. You know, it's been fun. It's not something I think about it a whole bunch. Obviously, it would be nice to continue that streak, I can assure you (of) that.
