They better expand that stadium to 175,000 by Saturday if they're going to get everyone in there that thinks they're going to get in.
We decided we couldn't (cover punts) with two sprinters, ... So we said, 'Let's get seven sprinters going off the line so we can cover them.'
A lot of people didn't even know we were being investigated. When the news broke last week, our freshmen were like, 'We were under investigation? No one ever told us.' It's not like I bothered to tell them.
Ask people over the last 20 years who has won the most Commander-in-Chief's Trophies. Tradition always is under construction. People don't look at what happened in the 1940s. They look at what's happening today.

I haven't seen anything that would compare to the anxiety of the game. Look at this: USC was No. 1 preseason, Texas was No. 2 and it never changed the entire year. Everyone said these would be the two best teams in the entire country and they were. How often does that happen?
They've got it over the hump. They've got it established. As long as they've got great senior leadership, it will continue to happen.
