Everybody was talking about if we can hold them to 29 or 30 points, we'd have a chance to win. We didn't see it that way. |
Half of these guys don't even know what an alley is. I'm going to take them to Plano and get them a look at a real suburb. |
I came here to graduate, play for the Crimson Tide and be part of the alumni here and family and history that they've got here. So that's what I did, stay here with these guys. |
I just, for some reason, had this feeling, this belief that there's no way we were going to walk off that field with a loss. I just knew that Brodie was going to take us down the field, whether he had to run the ball every play himself or hand it off or make a pass for a score, whatever. I think we knew we were in good hands. |
I told Dukes it's a blessing in disguise. He's a great athlete, and he's going to be a great player. He's probably one of the more athletic people we have on the team. |
I was getting a little sick and tired of talking them up all week. All week we praised them, and set them up a little bit, and I think they started to believe the chatter. |
Tell him not to feel so bad, because he played a very good defense. |
There's only a couple of coaches they really don't like. He's up there on the list. |
This is long deserved and we're not stopping here. This is for everybody who stayed with us. |
This year we've got a brand-new confidence that no matter what the situation, we think we can pull it out. |
We want to win this one for the fans. |
You can tell he's still a little young, but I think his decision making has gotten better. It's just a matter of time before he becomes a dominant player. I'm hoping it doesn't happen this week. |
You've got to attack his weaknesses, put pressure on him and get him rattled. But he's got big-play potential so we have to be careful of that. He's got a strong arm, he can run and he's got some good targets. We've got to keep him off-balance and put it in his hands to beat us. Make them one-dimensional. |
