Is it human nature that we're going to be complacent? I don't see that in any way, ... As a staff, we've worked harder and longer and recruited more than ever before. Probably the opposite of what you think has happened we're more driven then ever.
We couldn't tell in the first half what happened and we wanted to find out, so we just ran 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.
I like (the winning streak) a lot, and we're working to hold onto it. We have a chance to do something good again. (But) I don't care about what happened in the past. It's about getting ready for this week.
I'm concerned, ... When you play against good competition, those can be factors that set the tempo of the game for you. That has happened to us in the past three weeks. Hopefully we can rid ourselves of that. But I'm not dwelling on it, or thinking that it is the kind of team we are.
I'm not sure how it happened last week and I'm not sure how it happened this week. We weren't cheering when the new BCS ranking came out this morning. I know that. The BCS ranking is really important when you finish the season, not now.
We've been talking, and we had a more significant discussion (Wednesday). That is why I am willing to say something in a general sense. There are no details to give. We're in great shape, and things worked out really nice.
We just could not stop him. Vince Young is just an extraordinary football player.
We just missed each other out there. I don't think anyone was mad at each other. I was more upset that our defense gave up all those passing yards in the fourth quarter. I don't think there's a problem.
We feel very fortunate to be in this situation at this time of year. It's a beautiful time to be coaching and playing football. This is the situation we all hope for. We all want to get in the Rose Bowl. The situation this year is a little different.
I've never understood how two-thirds of the thing can vote for you one way and one third can knock you into fourth place. It looks like it should be third, third, third, but that's my simple math.
It would be awesome to go a couple more games and have a chance to be in a position like that. I know their fans and their followers have just got to be loving it.
It was a championship night in all ways. These two teams battled until the finish.
I still don't know how the BCS rankings really work, except that computers are involved, ... And I don't know how you get mad at a computer.
