country proud pull
I think I was the only one in the country who anticipated this. I told the guys....they're going to pull it all out because they've got nothing to lose. I was really, really not proud of myself that I was right.
answer difficult good jim knows preparing season start sure
I thought Jim (Tressel's) answer was good -- that the only thing for sure he knows about who will start at quarterback is that Vince Young will play for us. (Not knowing) makes it very difficult for us. It's like preparing for another season opener.
plan trouble
Plan on being behind. Plan on getting yourself in trouble.
bush fun great guy highlight himself instant plays saw school statement three time watch watched
Reggie Bush is like an instant highlight film. It's fun to watch him. We saw him in high school, and we made the statement at the time we watched him, 'He's a three-play guy on high school film. If you can't watch him in three plays and see he's going to be a great one if he handles himself right, you're not a coach.' He was a three-play guy.
quit relax stuff throwing worrying
Relax and be yourself and quit worrying about all the stuff around you. (Forget about) your throwing motion, who you look like or whatever.
depth job tremendous usc wear
I thought USC had a lot of depth and did a tremendous job of substituting, but he'll still wear you down.
chance coaches far food gives happen mean national since university
I think when I get through and I'm gumming my food, it will mean a lot ... As far as today, it would give these kids, these coaches and this university something we haven't done since we've been here. Secondly, it gives you a chance to play for a national championship and that doesn't happen many times in peoples' lives, if ever.
focused good great practice seen until wait week
It has been a very good week of practice ... the most focused I've seen them because they can't wait until Saturday. They know it is going to be a great test.
early game
That was a killer. It was early enough in the game that it shouldn't have been so big.
academic biggest both capital fans games good history people publicity says schools state talk
That says a lot about the history of the two schools and the games. People have told me that the two schools are very similar. They are two of the biggest state institutions in the country, both very good academic schools and are in the capital (cities). We each have a lot of fans and a lot of talk and publicity about football. (Football) is really important at both places.
act depressed enjoying entirely fun instead needed pressure start worrying
I thought I put entirely too much pressure on myself. We were winning, and I wasn't having fun. I don't want to act like I was depressed or miserable. But instead of worrying about what wasn't fixed, I needed to start enjoying what we'd accomplished.
compare great job johnson steve wherever
John's a great coach, ... He's done a great job wherever he's been. But Steve Spurrier's from Johnson City, Tenn., and Lloyd Carr's from Tennessee, so you can compare me to them, too.
throw
Justin's really good. He's big and strong. And he can throw it all over the lot,
anybody burning college desire great hard highest hours level stays
Look at what he has accomplished at the highest level of college football. He's 27 hours away from graduation. He has done everything right on and off the field. He's got character. He's got intelligence. He's got a burning desire to succeed. He has a great heart. He competes as hard as anybody I've ever been around. There's no downside. If he stays healthy, he'll be one of the great ones to ever play.
