admire mean offense played ran
You just have to admire how they played down the stretch. They ran their offense well and they bodied us up. I don't mean anything dirty.
coin flipped gym high mean past school
We flipped a coin in the end zone, I mean past the baseline, in a high school gym in Vegas.
meant responsibility
He has meant everything. As a senior, you feel responsibility even more.
meaning walk
I'll go for a nice, brisk walk - brisk meaning the temperature, not my pace.
behind meant people seen truly understood
If people had seen and truly understood what he has meant to us behind the scenes, he may have made the first team.
bring means opponent secure since tackle taught
If I get put in the same position, would I make the same tackle? ... Yes. I've been doing it since I was a little kid. It's a secure tackle. I do what I have to do. A tackle is a tackle. You've been taught to bring down an opponent by any means necessary.
bad fold fought four meant south start stretch talking three youngster
He's meant everything. He went through a stretch of three or four games, and everybody's talking bad about him. A lot of guys, when things start going south on them, they fold and give in. That youngster didn't do it, he fought back.
games team
We feel very fortunate, to say the least. First-round games are always difficult. If your team hasn't been through it, they have no idea how big it is.
We feel very fortunate, to say the least.
chance far including kansas last lucky seen struggled
I've seen a lot of teams, including Kansas last year, go far after they struggled in their first games. You have to get by and get lucky sometimes. We have to play better Saturday. We have no hope, no chance if we don't play better Saturday.
rarely watched
I've rarely watched film of T.O. or Jerry,
impressive victory
It was about as impressive of an opening-round victory as I've seen.
amazing good guards guys heck leading though
I've never had that even though I've had two guards who've been the two leading scorers. I've always had other guys who can score. It's amazing what they've accomplished. They've had a heck of a good year.
ask believes charles coming crossing easily full good hitting running speed
The 'X' is usually the 'clear out' guy, ... Charles could easily jog, but he's hitting it full speed and running full speed coming back to the huddle. He doesn't ask for the ball. We've got a lot of crossing routes, but he doesn't say, 'Can I get an X cross?' I think he believes that good things come to those who wait.
