asked question rose season stadium sugar sunshine team
The question I was asked before the season was, 'Would you be disappointed to not be in the Sugar Bowl?' ... I can tell you, I would never be disappointed to take a team to the Rose Bowl. To play in that stadium -- outdoors, on grass, in the sunshine -- how could you be disappointed?
asked certainly
I certainly would have asked for that play to be reviewed.
anybody asked certainly conversation happen player program season sure wants
I've interviewed every player on our team, and that's always part of the conversation. There's a lot of things that certainly should be motivating. I don't think there's anybody in this program that wants to go through that kind of season again. I think they'll do everything that they're asked to do to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
win
This was an awfully important win for this team. We've been awfully inconsistent.
chance college felt front growing move opportunity
When you have an opportunity to go in front of the media, there's always a chance to make mistakes. It's part of the growing process, part of the college experience. He felt really badly. It's just one of those things that happen, and you move on.

defense fourth last space
When you look at what he did in the fourth quarter, there was not a lot of space in that defense on the last drive.
good plays poor progress throws
Being a quarterback is a process. And I think he made a lot of progress. I think he made some very good throws out there today, then he had some very poor plays that he'd like to have back.
everybody resolute season turn
Everybody is disappointed. And yet everybody is resolute to try to do the things we need to do to turn the season around.
anybody football goals good happened lost program stage teams unless
Every program has goals and you have to decide, do you still have the same goals, because when you look around at what's happened in the first two weeks, a lot of very good football teams have lost. I don't think at this stage anybody is out of anything unless you've lost two games.
best consistent country great teams year
Year in and year out, on a consistent basis, the best teams in the country always have great defenses.
alone best challenge defensive fine lead nation played tells
We've played some very, very fine defensive fronts, and I think this is the best we've played. They lead the nation in sacks. I think that alone tells you the challenge we have.
attitude distracted group high maintain start
First and foremost, when you get off to a start like this after very high expectations that you have as a group of people, you have to maintain an attitude that you're not going to be distracted by all the things that go around you,
