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.
I thought Mark Sanchez handled himself real well. He's gotten experience with every single step this spring. (Sunday) was the biggest test of all.
Surgery may be down the road. It's not at all the time to do that. If after about two weeks he hasn't responded, then (team doctors) have to think more seriously about what the next step is.
Our team is well-prepared for his leaving. It'll be fun to see who steps up.
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.
There's no question he stepped out of character so we have to help him. We went through it the way that we do it. We considered all the circumstances and how remorseful the guy was.
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.
