It was a championship night in all ways. These two teams battled until the finish.
That was a phenomenal night by one guy. I don't want to take anything away from their football team but that guy is an extraordinary player.
We get down to the end of the season and we've got a couple of games left and we're fortunately in that position, then that's a whole different thing, and we'll deal with it when the time comes. But right now it's not something that our guys talk about. It's not something topical on our football team because it means nothing.
We get as much exposure as any NFL team in any NFL city. You can't get more exposure than that. It's impossible.
What my thoughts come back to about this football team right now, this is a program that has found a level of excellence. We'll get back to work and see how it comes together. We have great players coming on to offset the guys that are leaving.
This was a night of champions. Two teams went out and battled to the final seconds and Texas did a great job.
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.
It really felt this way when we talked as a team last night that this could happen in a big way. It was like we could have kept playing all night and had all that fun.
Walt has been coaching too long to let his team not respond.
Our team is well-prepared for his leaving. It'll be fun to see who steps up.
They're so talent-laden that when they put their special teams together, they have terrific athletes in every spot. They're fast, they're explosive and they have terrific athletes at every spot. They've taken a bunch of great football players and when they get their chance to do something, they're making the most of it.
All along, we counted on Vidal being a big factor in the strength of our recruiting class. It's taken a while for everyone to come together on this decision, but we're pleased for him and his family that it is finalized. We expect him to play a big role on our team and to compete for playing time right away.
History has shown we're a really good second-half football team and particularly strong in the fourth quarter. We count on that.
Whatever team drafts him will get a productive player who should be in the league for a long time.
