Talent wise, I don't have any complaints about that. I think our talent level is good. If we lose a game, it won't be because of talent. We're not going away, people know that.
coach funny goes matter sort
It is sort of funny, isn't it? One coach goes 9-3 and everything's great. Another coach goes 9-3 and everything's not so great. It's all a matter of perspective.

It is very important. It's something that we like to have and would like to continue. It is a badge of honor. It's something you like to sell. I'll be surprised if we don't have a first-rounder this year.

We're a better team at 0-1 than we were at 1-0 a year ago, ... I can assure you of that. This is one, in my opinion, maybe we shouldn't have lost. Maybe we won one last year we shouldn't have won. But that's football. That's the way things go sometimes.

We're a strong program, a winning program. Out of 119 schools, we're right at the top. That's pretty well documented.
