ability along brought chance europe few folks hope hoping last lines nfl opportunity people run together
It was along the lines of hoping he would have a chance to get things together and make a run at things with NFL Europe. NFL Europe is for folks with some ability to get an opportunity. And as I said the last few times people have brought up the subject, my hope would be that he would have an opportunity to go over to NFL Europe and make a comeback.
alumni football game great interest largest last level might ohio pick schools state
especially because they're Ohio State and Texas, two great schools that if you had to pick two you'd want to see play, if it's the last game you'd ever want to see in your life, it might be these two and that makes it special, two great football states, two great schools, two of the largest alumni in the world. The interest level is tremendous.

against attention burden early great guy guys holmes involved last people played plays point receiver recognize saw standpoint
We think Santonio Holmes is a great player, ... Early last year, he was about the only guy that was making plays for us. The people we played against saw that and put more attention on him. Some of our young guys then got a little more involved and that eased the burden off Santonio a little bit. If we can get to the point where we can recognize that he is being singled, we need to go to Santonio Holmes, because from a receiver standpoint he's top-notch.
afraid becomes good lack last lived lose performance played revenge sight square time trying
I think remembrance of how good you better be because you have to play a lot better than the last time you played them. If revenge becomes a factor, I'm afraid you lose sight of what it is that you're trying to square away. It's our performance that we need to square away, but all of us have lived with our lack of performance that day.

You just never know (about recruits). So who will do it? I don't know that any of us at this time last year would have thought ... (freshman) Malcolm Jenkins would start five games at cornerback.
last touches
I don't know that it will be much more than he did -- I don't know how many touches he had in the last game. So it probably won't be more than that.

I would question whether he'll play. You know, I've seen miracles before, so I'm not going to say for sure he won't. He was running around there last night, I thought, interestingly well, but not in the scheme of things. I don't know if he'll dress or not.

Obviously, my reaction to that is it's sad because, as I said the last few times people have brought up the subject, my hope would be that he would have an opportunity to go over to NFL Europe and make a comeback. I hope it's not true, but beyond that I don't know much.
ball begins believe best clock eleven entire game last next obviously opportunity point ready second sure talk terms throughout time year
We have a clock for each team, ... What we try to point out is you need to use every second to get ready for the opportunity to play a ball game because you only have, in this day and age, eleven opportunities, and next year begins twelve. You have to make sure you use your preparation time to get ready for that and most especially use your preparation time throughout the entire year so you're at your best in that last game. That's just something we believe in terms of preparation and something that we talk about and obviously have.
last since thinking
Everyone, ... has been thinking about it since the end of last season.

This is one of those games that coaches and players look forward to. Shoot, we can't wait and I am sure they feel the same way. It matches two great research universities, two great football programs and two states that really support their teams against one another. Everyone has been talking about it since the end of last season. I know this; it won't be hard to get our players' attention this week,
