We didn't hit the ball cleanly. The ball wasn't as deep as in practice.
We will have to wait and see when he gets to practice today. There is no damage at all to his knee, it is sore from getting banged on it, but he is going to practice today. We will ease him through the week until he is feeling 100%. He might feel 100% today. He is real encouraged, and I am not really concerned about it.
A big day for the defense in practice today. We turned the ball over like crazy. It's good for the defense.
When he returns he'll have had the most practice time with us (of any healthy running back). We do have a good feeling for what we can do; we're really excited about his ability to help this football team. He's doing really well, and there's a chance he could (play) now.
The doctors think he shouldn't have trouble playing. He had an MRI this afternoon, so he missed being out here today. I'd say he won't practice Tuesday and we'll see how he's doing Wednesday. We'll take it one day at a time.
We're not going to do anything different for this game since we're not treating this game any different than another game. Every game is a championship game for us, so we'll treat this one, the last one and the next one exactly the same. And that goes for our practices leading up to it as well.
I'm talking about: Are we competing today, every minute, in everything we do in practice. Are we letting loose and daring to be great here and now? And can we sustain that? And repeat it. Trophies are great, but we're trying to win forever.
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.
