What we did last year -- that was cool, that was fun. We made a great DVD. But that's behind us. This is a whole new challenge, just as it was last year and the year before.
They have been in difficult situations a number of times where they have been well behind and come roaring back and finished games with big finishes, big plays. This is a really good group. We will have our hands full with this one.
It seems like California has been right behind us for a while, and we talked about kind of separating a little bit. For all the right reasons, it's good to come up here and get a win.
Is it like the Wizard of Oz? A guy behind the curtain with a megaphone or something?
I was standing behind Shaq at the Orange Bowl during the national anthem. For a second, everything went dark. I couldn't see the lights, the flag, anything.
I know Cal has had a great time with this fact. They've had a lot of fun with it. I'd like to not let them have so much fun with it. We'd like to win the game and put that one behind us a little bit.
Watching the film, I didn't think that would happen because they play such great pass defense and they're so aggressive. But Matt was on fire.
We're so young in so many areas. These next two weeks will be huge for our development.
With the little bits I have, no. I'm not concerned about that one bit. I'm more concerned with helping the process and making sure everything comes to the front.
We're going to continue to evaluate the situation and see what's going on.
We're in great shape, and everything is going to work out for the long haul. I'm not looking. I don't care about those opportunities. ... This is a good time for this. There'll be a tremendous amount of movement in the NFL a week from now.
Why stop a game if you're going to make mistakes fixing mistakes?
We're real concerned. We have not had a great season on special teams.
Very dramatic. As exciting as it can be. A wonderful day for college football. It's something we'll never forget. For an energy junkie like me, it can't get any better than that. To be challenged to the last tick of the clock is really special for me.
