I think back to last year and, I don't want to say it was easy, but we made it look easy. We weren't challenged in difficult situations. This year, we have been, and it's built our character. |
I think they're great. I don't know if that's a surprise to anybody. |
I think we're still better than the way we played. |
I think you're always looking for guys, especially in the offensive line, that are just tough, hard-working, fighting guys. That's what you look for. It's not always the easiest thing to find. |
I thought the play was really a breaking point for us. I am not at all questioning the call, but we thought we had it, then we didn't, then they went down and got a field goal. Thinking we had the ball at the 30, and then not, that was a big swing. |
I thought the secondary played solid and good the entire day. The one deep wheel route we gave up on our boundary was somebody else outside of the secondary busting an assignment and not covering their guy. They tackled well for the most part, their positions on the ball and challenging in many coverage, I thought, were really pretty good. |
I want our team to know that we are not far off. We'll get those turnovers and we'll get those calls as we go through the year. |
I'm a little bit disinterested in it. . . . We have been in both situations, and we found our way in other years to win championships and other years we have been picked favorites and not won championships. |
I'm not going to sit here and critique our quarterbacks in front of everybody. We weren't very productive, we need to do a better job and that's what were going to try to do. |
I'm not going to sit here and lobby anyone. We just got our butts whipped. |
I'm not going to sit here and lobby for any bowl, ... We just got whipped. They outplayed us in every part of the game. |

I'm not much of a rooter. They're two really good teams. I don't get into anybody's business but mine. |
I'm not sensitive. That's what you guys do. There are some areas where we need to play better, you don't have to tell us. But I'm smart enough to see the positive side, that as badly as we played in the first half, we were still close enough to come out with the win. |
I'm sure possibly all the extra work probably could be bothersome to him healthwise, and he just decided he wants to move on. Good for him. He'll have a successful career in whatever he does. |
