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.
That was so much fun. That was so exciting. It was very dramatic. For an energy junkie like myself, it can't get any better. It was a wonderful day for college football. Something I'll never forget.
In 1999, I got fired as coach of New England. In three years in New England, we actually did better than most people think. We were 27-21, won the AFC division title, went to the playoffs twice.
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.
That right there is where the game was won and lost. We make the first down, we win the game.
It's been wonderful doing what we've been doing. It's too bad it had to end.
Very dramatic. As exciting as it can be. A wonderful day for college football. It's something we'll never forget. For an energy junkie like me, it can't get any better than that. To be challenged to the last tick of the clock is really special for me.
We would have won the game right there. The decision, in my opinion, in our way of thinking, you're going for it all the time.
I look at that as recognition for the effort from our staff. And congratulations to Karl. He's done a wonderful job getting his program going. He's deserving.

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 could not stop him. Vince Young is just an extraordinary football player.
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.
