Duane started as our defensive backs coach and has become more and more involved with the defense each year. Since he moved into the co-coordinator spot last year, he has played a key role in developing game plans and preparing one of the most successful defenses in the country.
games hyped
So often in games so heavily hyped like this, it doesn't live up to the hype. I thought it was better than the hype.
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.

I think he's the story in this game that nobody is talking about.
coach deserving few game guy joe last overcame overcome program question turn won year
Usually the coach of the year is the guy that overcame something. We didn't overcome anything. We just won a big game at the end and we hadn't been doing that. For Joe to do what he's done over the last few years and turn his program completely around is really, really special. I don't think there's any question he's deserving of this award.
football games next team texas win won
Next year's team hasn't won a game. There's not going to be another Vince Young. We can win football games at Texas because we won them before Vince got here, and we'll win them afterwards.
afraid amazing country fast game high last line loves nobody rose score seconds stretch year
Nobody in the country is better with the game on the line than Vince Young because he loves the high stakes, he loves the competition, and it's just amazing to me. I was afraid he was going to score too fast ? 19 seconds was a stretch there at the end. Last year (in the Rose Bowl) we got it to none.

One of the things we like so much about the team right now is that since the Missouri game last year, this team has finished better. We've played in the fourth quarters better than any team I have been associated with in my coaching career.

Now we have a chance to accomplish the things that this game has cost us over the years.
excited flipped games handled himself last pumped rose switch
We're excited about Vince's personality in big games and the way he handled himself at the end of last year, specifically the Rose Bowl. I think that flipped another switch for him and put him in another gear. He's pumped about this game.
both enjoy game hype kick lives people shut teams
Let's shut it up and kick it off and let people enjoy the game. Hopefully, both teams will play well enough that the game lives up to the hype because sometimes they don't.

We were one game away from playing Miami for the national championship.
bad few game happen happened inability last overcame run stop talk
When you have as many things happen bad as have happened the last few years, I thought that was one thing they had to overcome, ... And they did that, they overcame the talk about the turnovers in the game and their inability to run or stop the run.
