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.
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.
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.
Their offense is really functioning at a high level. They make first downs and move the sticks, and work their way down the field much like New England has been doing over the years. It has been very effective, and it is the same offense.
This was a night of champions. Two teams went out and battled to the final seconds and Texas did a great job.
This was a night for championships. Texas did a great job, wonderful job, all night. We had to keep scoring all night to outscore them. They were great champions tonight. If you have to step aside for somebody tonight, they're the team to do that for.
When you first look at their team, you can't see anything but him. He's a fantastic player. Your eyes are drawn to him.
Without question, that was a phenomenal night by one guy. That's an extraordinary player.
We righted it and got it going. We're thrilled that this is what our opportunity is. I know there's a lot of talk about pressure, but that's not what this feels like. It feels like an opportunity. It's been fun.
We're much higher on Mark at this early stage than we were on Matt.
We're trying to find six or seven No. 1 draft picks every class. We'd like to have that many every year. Every recruit out of state, we're trying to find a No. 1 pick. That's the criteria. We primarily recruit in California.
We're treating this very seriously. He's in essence been knocked down until we find out further what the situation is.
We didn't expect it to be this easy, but the game went our way from the beginning. I was a little surprised.
This was the best offensive line we had seen, the best running back we had seen, the best quarterback we had seen and the best receiving crew we had seen.
