After the second half, I won't be mentioned for that (Jets) job or any other in the country. I'll be lucky to keep my own job.
I'm fairly optimistic we're gonna be a decent football team.
I kept him out of the lineup because I felt he had to understand. I just felt, you've got to grow up.
Oh that (darn) horse. Are they (FSU officials) bringing that horse again? Is he going to be on our field? I'm going to make Bobby ride him, or at least clean up his dirt.

No, I was not aware of that. What was he doing out there? Can he swim?
It was a great football game. I'm glad we won, but we're very humbled. One play here, one play there and it could have turned out different.

Austin needed a game like that. He had lacked a little confidence ... we gotta get Scott in the game.
You're talking apples and oranges now. Cincinnati came up and beat us in '83. Cincinnati should have beaten Ohio State the year they won the national championship (2002).
(The team doctors) think he's got some ligament problems, but they are going to wait and do an MRI on him as soon as they can and find out just how serious it may be. It's a tough break for him.
