I got a chance to be myself - they fired me. They just didn't like it. Your eyes are so big, and you're floating on the energy and excitement of it. ... When you get to game day and get to that stadium, all of the dreams that you live with as a kid come to the front.
If we make the first down, the game's over. It was a clear decision.
If we make a first down, the game is over. We had seen what he'd done the series before. That moment flashes by in an instant. We could have sealed win. We needed to do it on on offense and we didn't. We had to stop them on defense and we couldn't.
He'll forever be grateful for the opportunity in the Notre Dame game, to make the play that he had to make to set up the win, and to be part of the touchdown to win the game. That's a moment that you can only get maybe, if you're lucky, once in a lifetime. That was kind of a pivotal opportunity that Matt will never forget.
He'll be sore, but we'll be counting on him,
He might have played the best of all the safeties in the first game.
Whatever team drafts him will get a productive player who should be in the league for a long time.
What matters to me is we accomplished everything we could possibly accomplish, ... No one will ever be able to take that away from us no matter how the polls go.
The people have changed, but the format is exactly the same.
We took a shot at a couple guys, we didn't hit it. We'll force our issues next year.
We took a shot at a couple guys, the best guy in the state of Alabama, the best guy in the state of Florida, and we didn't hit it. One of those guys would have been great.
We're not worried. We're not going to get worn out. These games just keep you on the edge of your seat a little more.
When he was at Louisville, I ran into him at the airport one time when we were going opposite directions and we kind of reunited and hooked back up.
When he returns he'll have had the most practice time with us (of any healthy running back). We do have a good feeling for what we can do; we're really excited about his ability to help this football team. He's doing really well, and there's a chance he could (play) now.
