We couldn't tell in the first half what happened and we wanted to find out, so we just ran it,
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.
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.
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.
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.
