The minute you think you've got it made, disaster is just around the corner. |
The name on the front of the jersey is what really matters, not the name on the back. |
The one thing about Tony I always worried about is he has a tendency to be careless with the football, ... If he pays attention to the little things and spends a little more time maybe with tapes and watching blocking schemes and things like that, he can be better than just a good back. |
The one thing I said to some people in the university at times when they asked me about the future was, 'Look, everybody just stay stable. We will be OK. I have a bunch of great (coaches) around me. We have to go out and recruit a couple of kids and we will be OK,' ... I'm not sure they believed me, but at least they didn't fire me. |
The only part of our game that's really not been what I'd like it to be would probably be the kickoff game. And there again you've got to give the other guy credit. I think we've done all right. |
The only thing I have control over, ... is to try to get our football team to play as well as it can play, and have them realize they are playing against a team which has talent, coaching and tradition. And we are on the road before 110,000 people. Unless you're stupid, you've got to understand that. |
The only thing I wanted to do is try to get us back to where we were a good football team and we could be very competitive and make some plays we hadn't made. We got that done and I feel good about that. |
The quarterback is new. They had an outstanding quarterback last year. They lost a lot of players. |
The teams we are playing this year put an awful lot of pressure on the outside linebackers because they spread you out, ... The outside linebacker almost has to be a strong safety. Shaw is in that category. |
The thing about Calhoun that is so different than a lot of running backs is that he is a great receiver. They put that ball outside with him and they run that little screen and ... when he gets out in the open field, he is awfully tough. |
The thing about Wisconsin, you've got to beat them, |
The thing about Wisconsin, you've got to beat them. They're not going to beat themselves. They're not going to give you the ball. They're not going to do stupid things. If we're going to win, we've got to win. |
The two outside linebackers (Hawk and Carpenter) are as good as anybody has in the country. It is one of the better defensive teams you will ever see. I don't mean just this year, but you will see play any time. In all of the years I have been coaching, this is probably one of the better defensive teams I have seen. |
The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital. |
There are certain situations I go over during the week. Jay will call certain plays in certain situations, and Galen will call most of the game with some input from Dick Anderson. When we get into certain situations, Galen turns it over to Jay and vice versa. |
