It's not very often in our league that one team will become a dominant force in any given year for more than a year.
This is a deserving tribute for a special young man. All of our coaches will be in attendance, and we look forward to seeing D. J. and his family appropriately honored.
A lot of people doubted his ability to handle the academic rigors at our school. He's proven he can do that and be a fantastic All-American football player and be a fantastic citizen. He's got a heart for young people. He wants to give back. He's just a great credit to this program and our university.
A lot of guys just really opened up, mostly seniors, and the players really responded in a very strong way, in an emotional way. You just felt the team being built. You felt a very strong bond. It looked like the ingredients were there, and you're thinking, 'We've got a chance to be pretty good here.' You just didn't know if it was going to equate into victories or not. So far it has.
A lot of this game will be trying to make adjustments as quickly as possible after we find out some of the goodies they've got ready for us.
It's been one of those years where not many people expected much of us. There weren't many guys getting all kinds of preseason accolades, maybe Max Jean-Gilles a little bit,
They executed beautifully. I would have enjoyed watching them if I weren't coaching in this game.
Quentin is thinking it all through before making a decision. I don't think either one is 100 percent sure about what he's going to do yet.
There's no doubt Joe T is the No. 1 guy going in. He's got a lot of things going for him.
I see our basketball team beginning to get these great commitments and beginning to build for the future, and I see the same thing from Coach Croom's team. I don't see either of those men looking for shortcuts.
I've learned to appreciate every victory. I'm not going to apologize for it. We've just got to get better.
Sometimes people think there is not enough support for college athletics without the beer industry, maybe. I don't know if that is true. There would be other sponsors that would be excited about uniting with college football.
Right now, we think he'll be 100 percent, ... (Monday) was the first time we let him do everything, and he had no setbacks. I watched him close, and I saw no signs of him limping around or gimping around.
Defensive guys can be, 'What the heck,' ... There was none of that. (From) coaches, there was none of that.
