We just could not stop him. Vince Young is just an extraordinary football player.
Vince Young was an extraordinary talent out there tonight. He's really off the charts. That's a heck of a football player.
There's no question that as much pressure as can be generated in college football is surrounding Matt. He's marvelous at dealing with it, but he's just a kid, too. He's got his times when he'd much rather be outside all of the attention, but that's just life and that's what it is.
That was our moment. I was trying to win the football game. We came within one fourth down of doing it. Missed it by that much.
That was a phenomenal night by one guy. I don't want to take anything away from their football team but that guy is an extraordinary player.
We get down to the end of the season and we've got a couple of games left and we're fortunately in that position, then that's a whole different thing, and we'll deal with it when the time comes. But right now it's not something that our guys talk about. It's not something topical on our football team because it means nothing.
The argument about the system is out there and that's probably good, ... We did what we could, impressing the people in the AP poll and the coaches who felt free to vote.
I have great respect for Walt and all the stuff he has done. For years, I have been calling him to ask him what's up, how to do this and how to do that. He is a really good football coach.
What my thoughts come back to about this football team right now, this is a program that has found a level of excellence. We'll get back to work and see how it comes together. We have great players coming on to offset the guys that are leaving.
What separates Reggie is his extraordinary ability to plant his foot and go a different direction while at top speed. That's what separates him. Some guys have moves but no speed. Others have speed but no moves.
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.
It was really a unique experience. I had been at the University of Pacific for my first three years coaching. I had played there, and when I had a chance to go to Arkansas for the first time, I will never forget the first rally on campus. It was crazy, and the energy was awesome, and the band was playing and the students went nuts. It was the first sense of what big-time college football was like, to be on the inside of it. That year at Arkansas was the year that really energized me about being a college coach and liking it and coaching on the big level. I got captured by it.
You make the first down, you win the football game.
They move the football better than ever. Sam Keller has just taken over and done a fantastic job.
