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.
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.
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.
Our team is well-prepared for his leaving. It'll be fun to see who steps up.
Whatever team drafts him will get a productive player who should be in the league for a long time.
History has shown we're a really good second-half football team and particularly strong in the fourth quarter. We count on that.
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.
Walt has been coaching too long to let his team not respond.
It was a championship night in all ways. These two teams battled until the finish.
He's so unique and so explosive and such a great competitor. He has all the physical talents to do it. But he was on a real good football team with some great players around him. It's unfair to expect Reggie to go to Houston and carry that team on his shoulders.
I'm really disappointed. The whole team feels bad.
I'm concerned, ... When you play against good competition, those can be factors that set the tempo of the game for you. That has happened to us in the past three weeks. Hopefully we can rid ourselves of that. But I'm not dwelling on it, or thinking that it is the kind of team we are.
