We didn't hit the ball cleanly. The ball wasn't as deep as in practice.
Every coach talks about turnovers, but it's how deeply you emphasize it is where you get consistency. Our guys are riddled with the thought of having to go get the ball at all times in everything that we're doing. It's the number one emphasis in the program for us.
That was very gratifying, ... I mean, taking the ball away is what we're all about.
Twenty more yards of field position wasn't going to make a difference. The series before, Texas had great success moving the ball downfield. If we get the first down, we win the game.
We'd been having a hard time getting other offenses off the field, ... We need to get the ball back to our offense. You can see what happens when we do that.
A big day for the defense in practice today. We turned the ball over like crazy. It's good for the defense.
He hit the ball nice and smooth today, ... He's real determined to play.
Texas would have a 1,000-yard back if they didn't share the ball so much.
He's so unique...he's an X factor. He probably made us miss a dozen tackles...plus he threw the ball well.
He's so much more fit physically than he was a year ago. He's chased the ball really well and made plays like a veteran. He's had a really productive year just causing problems in the backfield.
We've been talking, and we had a more significant discussion (Wednesday). That is why I am willing to say something in a general sense. There are no details to give. We're in great shape, and things worked out really nice.
We just could not stop him. Vince Young is just an extraordinary football player.
We just missed each other out there. I don't think anyone was mad at each other. I was more upset that our defense gave up all those passing yards in the fourth quarter. I don't think there's a problem.
We feel very fortunate to be in this situation at this time of year. It's a beautiful time to be coaching and playing football. This is the situation we all hope for. We all want to get in the Rose Bowl. The situation this year is a little different.
