We just could not stop him. Vince Young is just an extraordinary football player.
We couldn't stop them when we had to.
We couldn't stop them, and the quarterback ran all over the place.
Well, we couldn't stop them when we had to. The quarterback ran all over the place. This is their night. It's wonderful doing what we've been doing. We didn't get it done.
We reacted exactly like we should. We had to put a stop to the bad stuff happening before it got too deep and we did that. The defense stopped them for 40 straight minutes and the offense scored seven of the final eight times we had the ball.
Why stop a game if you're going to make mistakes fixing mistakes?
If we make a first down, the game is over. We had seen what he'd done the series before. That moment flashes by in an instant. We could have sealed win. We needed to do it on on offense and we didn't. We had to stop them on defense and we couldn't.
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 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.
I still don't know how the BCS rankings really work, except that computers are involved, ... And I don't know how you get mad at a computer.
