I'm just kind of taking a stand on it. I just don't like the thing. I know everybody else is going nuts for it. I just never liked it before. I just like the game to be played on the field and to put the faith in the officials and players and let that happen the way it's always happened. I'm just a stick in the mud about it and I'm obviously not winning this one.
It took him only a half to prove that he is the best player in college football.
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 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.
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.
The defense played well because the run-and-shoot is truly a challenge.
To get this far this fast is impressive. We have to find out how far he can take it. He played particularly well in the last scrimmage. Cushing's able to hold his own, no doubt about it.
These are two historic offenses. There are so many explosive players on both teams.
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.
(Sanchez) had a very solid day today. We really mixed it around and played a lot of stuff off of the running game, and we tried to balance it out more than we have in the past to make it more realistic, and he handled it very well. It's a very positive sign.
All along, we counted on Vidal being a big factor in the strength of our recruiting class. It's taken a while for everyone to come together on this decision, but we're pleased for him and his family that it is finalized. We expect him to play a big role on our team and to compete for playing time right away.
I have great respect for what he's done. We've played against each other, and I think it's really cool that we have this chance to match up again. This is the first time we've gone head to head as head coaches.
It's probably hard for you to imagine, but we took this thing in stride, step by step as we went through. We didn't talk about national championship very much, the players probably did some.
They played really hard and they had a very good defense. Their scheme is very solid. They know how to mix their looks and their pressures. They came after us and were really effective.
