practiced regain second
There's always going to be that. He hasn't even practiced with the (first or second units). Hopefully, he'll regain it quickly.
defense heart loss soul
That is a very costly loss for this team. He is the heart and soul -- not just our defense -- but our team.
break football losing mindset suffered team
It's not just this loss. This football team has suffered a lot of losses. At some point, we've got to break that trend. It's not just about losing games. It's about the mindset that accompanies that. We've got to break it.
dame good talk touch wonderful
The Notre Dame episode, I won't touch that, ... I don't talk about it. It's a wonderful place and we did some good things there. I didn't do all I wanted to do.
coach knows
I don't think coach Willingham knows what a hint is.
everybody guys special
You need guys with special talents, special minds, who don't think like everybody else.
waiting happens my-own
I will not rule out anything. I don't speculate on my own future. I'll wait and see what happens.
goal people inspire
My goals have always been to inspire people to be the best they could be, on and off the field.
football loss winning
As you understand the game of football, you understand that it is about wins and losses.
football successful loss
It's certainly a loss for us here at the University of Washington, because Jeff Compher has been a wonderful friend and administrator. Jeff is a football man first, but he has the compassion and desire to make all of Northern Illinois' programs successful. He's one heck of a guy.
team years games
Years ago, when I was (at Stanford), you had maybe one or two teams -- at one time I was part of one of those teams -- you didn't have to worry about, ... Now it's not that way in the conference. A lot of the teams that were once at the bottom kind of have their games together and are making their way to the top.
tunnels light matter
As a matter of fact, there is still a lot of light at the end of the tunnel. We just have to find a way to get to it.
