It's been wonderful doing what we've been doing. It's too bad it had to end.
I've got so much control and call every shot. I haven't changed my outlook on that at all. You know, to do something like I like to do it, you've got to do it over a long period of time. That's why this is a cherished moment for me in my coaching career. I'm right in the middle of something really special, and I can see it, it's very clear.
It was a good scrimmage for our young guys.
It was obvious he was the the difference in this game.
It's what everyone dreams about that comes to play here, and we try to be real frank about it. We have tremendous NFL experience on our staff, our background and the way we teach is exactly the way they do up there. It's a selling point.
That last sequence, I didn't want to go to overtime. I thought they'd have an advantage. I told my guys on the last drive we were going for it, ... We had a remarkable opportunity on the inches line. In that sequence, Matt has the option to sneak it or spike it. I pointed to Matt and said, 'Go for the win.'
That really helps us because we come up with a really fast, big, strong, good playmaking guy who can play in a spot where we've been really thin.
That quarterback just ran all over the place. He made the difference. This is their night. Hats off to 'em.
It's nice to have Nick back. He's an outstanding coach with great enthusiasm and fire. (He) knows our system well and was using it at Idaho.
It's so common for people to think that once you've accomplished something to get complacent. But I don't see that in any of our players. I don't see it in Matt.
It's so great to be standing in front of you representing what this university has always been about: winning championships, national championships.
It's so frustrating for him. He's been waiting for his chance. I feel terrible for him.
It's not exactly how you'd like it, ... but when you play a top-10 team, you have to expect it.
It's going to take some time for the spasm to let up. If it doesn't, there are some considerations that we'll have to look at more seriously what's going on. We'll let him rest for a few days and see how it responds.
