You aren't too good if you're a first-rounder and you barely play four years. And he got on because somebody got hurt.
believe favorite truly wrote
We don't believe that we're America's favorite team. Now we are? Now you're going to tell us that after you all wrote us off for dead? Why should we believe you now? I've still got all the articles. So there's no way I can believe you now that you're truly with us.
giving kept offense plugging score stick team
The offense kept plugging away and giving us opportunities. Then we let them score another touchdown. At the end of the game, we did what we had to do, but you don't want to let a team like that stick around. You have to put a team like that away early.

The bigger story is what I say. The big story isn't how I go out there and play football. The bigger story is what he's going to say next.

We knew what we could do in our hearts, but we still had to go out and play each one of those games. We went and won seven in a row. We did what everybody said we couldn't do. We took the scenic route. We went and visited everybody's city and played on the road. They said, 'No way they could have all these games on the road and continue to win.' You know what? When you play football like we play at that point in time, and just execute like we're doing, we feel like we can beat anybody.

bowl fault mad mental super thinking
