The bottom line is they came up with the big play to put the game away. We had a couple of third downs there when the game was in question where if we got the ball back we would have liked our chances to at least get it to tie and get it to overtime. |
The expectation was that he should have been ready to go by USC, |
The fact that he died when he did, when he was at the top of his game, is a true travesty. |
The fact that you can tell them [recruits] week-in and week-out they can be seen on national TV -- not regional and not local -- they can be seen on national TV, it's definitely a good selling point with their families. |
The first thing you have to do is start off embarrassing them, |
