ball bit defense excitement good handling link opportunity pop possibilities time weak
It's more excitement than fear. There's a lot more possibilities that can happen. You can pop the ball out at any time with the quarterback handling it a bit more. I think it's just a good opportunity for us to show the defense is not a weak link in the chain.
came defense far letting playing roll team
No team is going to roll over because they're playing the Trojans. We came out a little flat. It was kind of a disappointing day for the defense as far as letting them score.
defense offense sells wins
Offense sells tickets. Defense wins championships. It's an old saying, but it's true.
defense games itself proven wants
I think our defense has proven itself over and over. In games like this it just comes down to who wants it more and who has more heart.
complete defense either offense season tough
All season long, either our defense was a little off or our offense was a little off. I think the Trojans have yet to come away with a complete game. In football, it's pretty tough to do. ... But it happens, and when it does, it's just one of those games.
asking guys mess rumors start wondering
We are always wondering what we are going to get. Guys start asking around, and a lot of guys mess around and start little rumors about what we are getting, and set us up for a disappointment.
people recruit
We're USC. We only recruit people who can play.
job marvelous proving question questions
We're the question of the year. We did a marvelous job of proving we shouldn't be the question.
doubt gets hard left stop
We left no doubt that we are one heartbeat. And something like that is pretty hard to stop once it gets going.
face
I've got to let it go. I'm just doing something else right now (being interviewed), but I'm going to have to face it. It's going to be tough.
learn teaching
It was a teaching tape. We try to learn something and take something for everybody.
attack hero running
I think their running attack is the unsung hero of their offense.
prefer style
I wouldn't be comfortable. I prefer the laid-back, California-beach style.
glorious step today
I think it let us know that we are that one unit, that one heartbeat. I think today is just another step into our glorious run.
