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.
This was a different opportunity, ... But when I walked in here I felt I was ready. I had been in two difficult situations (in the NFL)... I had been through the wars. USC was an awesome opportunity.
This two-week opportunity for them really makes them dangerous,
This wound up being a bend-but-don't break game, ... I hate to play like that, but that's what this game became. The opportunity to win was still there, and it came down to, 'Are you going to get it done, or aren't you?'
Obviously, the focus goes to Sanchez. He gets a great opportunity to be in charge, run the whole thing. We'll just try to maximize that, get Mike McDonald some work and wait for J.D. to get better.
(Matthews) has had a very good spring. He's played almost every snap in the springtime so he's had a great opportunity to show us stuff and he's done very well.
He'll forever be grateful for the opportunity in the Notre Dame game, to make the play that he had to make to set up the win, and to be part of the touchdown to win the game. That's a moment that you can only get maybe, if you're lucky, once in a lifetime. That was kind of a pivotal opportunity that Matt will never forget.
We maximized the opportunity for Mark. He really got a bunch of great work in. He developed tremendously and had a great spring for us.
We're excited to get back home. ... We have an opportunity to be pretty healthy and in pretty good shape.
That last sequence, I didn't want to go to overtime. I thought they'd have an advantage. I told my guys on the last drive we were going for it, ... We had a remarkable opportunity on the inches line. In that sequence, Matt has the option to sneak it or spike it. I pointed to Matt and said, 'Go for the win.'
This is a rare opportunity with the right elements, the right ingredients ... and I'm not going to give it up.
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.
