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.
I have great respect for Walt and all the stuff he has done. For years, I have been calling him to ask him what's up, how to do this and how to do that. He is a really good football coach.
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.
In respect to the game, the game can get you sometimes. I hope that day when somebody gets us, I hope we played really well on that day and we made them play great.
(UA) 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. We respect the heck out of what they are doing and what they are capable of doing.
We only expect it to be hard. You have to respect the game. It could be anything that gets you. It could be the wind. It could be a call (by an official).
I'm sure the place is going to be nuts -- it's a tremendous place to play,
I'm proud that we're showing how important it is to have well-rounded kids in this program, kids who want to play football at the highest level and also want to take care of their academics. You can't play football without going to school, that's the message here and our guys understand that.
It's so common for people to think that once you've accomplished something to get complacent. But I don't see that in any of our players. I don't see it in Matt.
It's so great to be standing in front of you representing what this university has always been about: winning championships, national championships.
It's so frustrating for him. He's been waiting for his chance. I feel terrible for him.
It's not exactly how you'd like it, ... but when you play a top-10 team, you have to expect it.
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.
That is what it takes to disrupt a rhythm.
