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.
I don't feel a whole lot different about going into this game than I did back then. It's all the dreams of a kid coming to the fore.
I got a chance to be myself - they fired me. They just didn't like it. Your eyes are so big, and you're floating on the energy and excitement of it. ... When you get to game day and get to that stadium, all of the dreams that you live with as a kid come to the front.
I'm sure the place is going to be nuts -- it's a tremendous place to play,
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.
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.
That happened in a flash. He was up and over him. I don't even know how you can measure that time frame. He has extraordinary reactions.
That is what it takes to disrupt a rhythm.
It was just an OK game for us. But we got through the first game. Now we go watch the tape, go back to work. About a month from now we should be all right.
They will not let it die, ... They won't call it over.
I want to see him get command of the situational stuff. I thought he handled it fine.
