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.
Somebody is going to get us some day. That's just the way it goes. When it last happened, we turned around and haven't lost since. ... It's how you're going to respond to that (loss) that's important.
LenDale White got asked about 30 questions to try to get him to say something. He was true to his word the whole way through and somebody thinks they got something out of him. Our guys are great, competitive kids and they want to play and they want the ball. I think that's a really good attribute.
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.
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.
This was a night of champions. Two teams went out and battled to the final seconds and Texas did a great job.
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.
Without question, that was a phenomenal night by one guy. That's an extraordinary player.
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.
We're much higher on Mark at this early stage than we were on Matt.
We're trying to find six or seven No. 1 draft picks every class. We'd like to have that many every year. Every recruit out of state, we're trying to find a No. 1 pick. That's the criteria. We primarily recruit in California.
We're treating this very seriously. He's in essence been knocked down until we find out further what the situation is.
We didn't expect it to be this easy, but the game went our way from the beginning. I was a little surprised.
This was the best offensive line we had seen, the best running back we had seen, the best quarterback we had seen and the best receiving crew we had seen.
