Dr. Watkins made the point that he had to do it once he got in and saw what was going on. It would've been a mistake to try to just tough it out and wait through it.
We've done everything we can do to this point, we've done it with a little flair, and a little bit of drama along the way. This game was an exclamation point for this 12-game run.
We've grown to the point where we need these kind of challenges. It keeps us strong.
The defenses are similar but the points of emphasis are different. We each do something a little different.
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.'
It went really well. The doctors made a point that it was something that they had to do.
It's a display of respect for last year. We're proud of what we accomplished, and other people respect that. But it's what we do from this point forward that counts in 2005.
I totally trust our team. Our preparation has been perfect to this point. That's my job. That's what I have been doing, orchestrating every part of this to a point that mentally lets these guys fly on game day.
This is the time of year that we've pointed toward. It's happened, and it's at the Rose Bowl, and it just can't get any better for the USC Trojans.
Right now with its first initial announcement it's just a starting point for finishing the season and where you wind up is most important.
I'm not going to make any excuses for any part of this. I'm going to continue to take responsibility for that. I'm not going to point the finger at somebody else. I'm the one who has to continue to get this done.
The history really doesn't have anything to do with how we play, so that's not a big point for me to dwell on. But it is fun for everybody.
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.
