Right now with its first initial announcement it's just a starting point for finishing the season and where you wind up is most important.
I take it as a personal challenge, ... We lost some great guys. We have had some big challenges. We'll find out what happens.
I think it's a tremendous accomplishment. I made it clear to the guys after the fact,
I think it's important to have people you know and can count on. I know why guys hire their sons. You have a relationship. It could be a problem, but you know that you've got someone with your best interests at heart. He can tell me something that nobody else can tell me. I see it as an asset.
I think the guys that have come back now have found that they have enjoyed the heck out of it. After the grind of the NFL, the college game seems a little more different and wholesome and spirited.
If I'm lucky, I can see 7-8 possible recruits at these meets.
I feel very comfortable about it. ... I don't think there's any issue at all.
If anything, it shows that we can finish.
I don't understand. We've played in that setting for years, and I think it adds to the game and the excitement of it.
I expect a tremendous week of preparation this week.
For us at that time, it was exactly the right thing to do. We were going to win the game right there. You've seen us do that in the past. If we have the chance to win the game, we're going to go for it.
For the second week in a row we just were on a torrid pace to self-destruct in the first quarter.
For what we're doing around here, every game is a championship for us. To have buildup and the great hype from our opponents at their stadiums that are going to be raucous and crazy just makes us better. It makes us stronger.
If it's going to happen, I want it to be normal and comfortable. I don't want it to be something that's out of the ordinary and they don't know how to respond to.
