apart ask both far football great played programs tradition twice
We played twice in the '30s and twice in the '90s and that's the end of it. We're not that far apart and with the great tradition of both football programs and both schools, what more could we ask for?
against allowed behind count ears good job pin secondary veteran
Well, we got behind in the count and allowed them to pin their ears back and they did a good job with that. When you're behind the count against a veteran secondary and a veteran front, you give them a better chance.
far game great handling job talking words
When you're talking about Troy, I don't think you ever think you use words like that. I mean, that's over, and I think he's done a great job of handling his adversity. This is game No. 12 of 2005 as far as I'm concerned.

We hate to lose him, but I'm extremely proud he has achieved this position and wish him the very best,

That wouldn't have been my first choice. But I can't have it back.
message send wrong
That would have been the wrong message to send to Justin,
good hope moving steam took
That was probably the backbreaker -- 24-10 is a two-score game. There is always pretty good hope even if you haven't been moving the ball. 31-10 and you haven't been moving it -- that probably took a little steam out of them.

easily emotional reach
That was an emotional turnaround. It very easily could have been a 20-7 game, which is not an out of reach game. But it's a lot different than being down 17-14.
team
That's what a top-5 team should look like.
across awful biggest good worry
My biggest worry is they look awful good across the board.
