gives hard hopefully kids last lost means opportunity stay weeks
(The win) gives us the opportunity to stay at (No. 2) and hopefully get better as a team. Last year, when we lost in October, we lost some of that and couldn't get back up. It by no means gives you a right to the end, and that's what our kids have to understand. It's a long, hard 11 weeks left.

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.

There's no way we can start talking about the end, ... We nearly lost to Kansas last year.
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.
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.
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.

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.
ability attention behind biggest enjoying exciting game last less position ready shown team test win
This team has shown the ability to put an exciting win behind them, ... This will be the biggest test of getting them back and getting them ready to go because there will be less attention in this game (Oklahoma State) than there was the last three. I think they're enjoying the ride. We told them that you don't get into this position that many times in your lifetime, so you really need to enjoy it.

We've been outside two of the last three days. (Monday) we went indoors and got more of a walk-through, so we do not feel like the rain has hurt out preparation at all.
couple finished game good guys history last lose lost playing reckon says teams time undefeated
We're the only two teams playing out of 119. It's the only two undefeated teams in the country. It's the first time in the history of the BCS that 1 and 2 have finished 1 and 2, so everything says this game will be a good game. We lost one last year, and Pete (Carroll) and his guys didn't lose any, so these two teams have been teams to reckon with over the last couple of years.

We had a chance in the last 5 minutes. We throw it in the end zone and drop the ball.
