That's an extraordinary football player. He's not only big, he's fast. He probably made us miss a dozen tackles.
That's critical if you're going to handle it. You have to be at home with the environment that we've created, feel comfortable and aware of what's happening. Otherwise, we won't be able to hold onto this.
I'm in great shape, and I haven't complained about it at any time. The university has been great and has been proactive about making it known that they want me around.
I'm not sure how it happened last week and I'm not sure how it happened this week. We weren't cheering when the new BCS ranking came out this morning. I know that. The BCS ranking is really important when you finish the season, not now.
I'm not going to make any excuses for any part of this. I'm going to continue to take responsibility for that. I'm not going to point the finger at somebody else. I'm the one who has to continue to get this done.
If you get the first down, the game is over. It didn't really matter where they started. You saw how they moved down the field on the previous drive. That was our moment to seal the win and we didn't do it.
In respect to the game, the game can get you sometimes. I hope that day when somebody gets us, I hope we played really well on that day and we made them play great.
His back just tightened up on him, locked up on him. He's got real serious back spasms that are going to keep him out for a little bit.
But if you look at the difference between the past couple years and this year, we've kind of gone off the charts in all numbers.
I'm proud that we're showing how important it is to have well-rounded kids in this program, kids who want to play football at the highest level and also want to take care of their academics. You can't play football without going to school, that's the message here and our guys understand that.
I'm just kind of taking a stand on it. I just don't like the thing. I know everybody else is going nuts for it. I just never liked it before. I just like the game to be played on the field and to put the faith in the officials and players and let that happen the way it's always happened. I'm just a stick in the mud about it and I'm obviously not winning this one.
I'm just crushed for him. It's been a year and a half now for his recovery - we'll wait and see what it all means.
I have not changed one bit since I've been here. There is a way to have great discipline, and have great intensity and have people compete on a level that is hard to match and enjoy every minute of it.
I have not been contacted, I don't expect to be contacted, and I'm not interested.
