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 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.
That's an extraordinary football player. He's not only big, he's fast. He probably made us miss a dozen tackles.
They have played really good football, and they have tons of highlights and good things to show, ... But they have been unable to get their win in the Pac-10. That just screams about the Pac-10 offenses. They bring in a terrific running back, a terrific receiver.
We just could not stop him. Vince Young is just an extraordinary football player.
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.
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.
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.
This is not the same football team, this is not the same offense, ... The players are the same, but they are performing at a higher level because of the guy who is running the thing.
This is a fantastic and improved football team; the impact of the head coach is obvious,
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.
As we do every spring, we'll try to establish the high level of competitiveness, intensity and work ethic that have been the hallmark of our program. Spring football is a very important time for us to develop and capture those attributes.
Absolutely, heck yeah. We're counting on that competition.
