There's something special about this Fiesta Bowl, there's no question about it. Why we've been so blessed here I have no idea.
bowl doubt four games group playing seniors sent special sure tying win wins
There's something special about playing in the Fiesta Bowl, no doubt about it. The seniors have done so much here (becoming the first group to win four bowl games and tying a school-record with 43 wins as a class), I wanted to make sure we sent them out as champions.

Probably in the middle of the fourth quarter -- I'm not going to lie. You know, we're anxious to be a part of a matchup like that. Shoot, we can't wait. I'm sure they're the same.

blocked bobby carpenter covers nightmare range tremendous
Bobby Carpenter makes things happen. He's a nightmare for those tackles when he's rushing. He's got tremendous range as a linebacker and covers so much ground. I don't see him get blocked very often. He makes plays.
believe group kept known looking maybe playing revealed
I've always known this group has character, but you know, maybe it was revealed again, with them being down, you know, it not looking so wonderful. But they kept playing and they believe in each other.
ball both break dangerous gets great hall hands kick leader majority red return teddy terrific utilize weapon weapons zone
Teddy is a terrific weapon and we want to get the ball in his hands as often as possible, ... The majority of his play will come on offense, but he gets a great break on the ball so there will be times in the red zone where we will utilize him on defense, too. With Maurice Hall (the school's all-time leader in kick return yardage) gone, we will use him on both punt and kick returns. He and Santonio (Holmes) give us two very dangerous weapons back there.
ball guy limit teddy touch
Teddy Ginn is a guy we try to have touch the ball as much as possible. I don't know if we'll ever limit ourselves.

Every state we go to, it's just like that. I don't care if it's Denver, Colorado, or Georgia or Florida. It's neat to get a chance to see the different alums throughout the country.
