This was a night for championships. Texas did a great job, wonderful job, all night. We had to keep scoring all night to outscore them. They were great champions tonight. If you have to step aside for somebody tonight, they're the team to do that for. |
This was a night of champions. Two teams went out and battled to the final seconds and Texas did a great job. |
This was a team effort. |
This was a tremendous success and we accomplished more because of this event. Camp is completed and I feel good about it. |
This was a very important game for us. We needed to show everybody that we could play better than we did last week. Our guys did a good job of that today. |
This was our chance to win the game and the national championship. I don't second-guess that. |
This was the best offensive line we had seen, the best running back we had seen, the best quarterback we had seen and the best receiving crew we had seen. |
This wound up being a bend-but-don't break game, ... I hate to play like that, but that's what this game became. The opportunity to win was still there, and it came down to, 'Are you going to get it done, or aren't you?' |
Those are my lucky angels. |
To get this far this fast is impressive. We have to find out how far he can take it. He played particularly well in the last scrimmage. Cushing's able to hold his own, no doubt about it. |
Tonight the offense was just rolling. We finally got rolling in the turnover situation. We've been quiet lately. Stanford has been such a stingy team. We wanted to turn that thing around. To get five and give none, we loved that. |
Turnover margin has been our No. 1 emphasis since I've been at USC. We feel that as you keep it going, you're going to be hard to beat. |
Twenty more yards of field position wasn't going to make a difference. The series before, Texas had great success moving the ball downfield. If we get the first down, we win the game. |
Two teams left, it's pretty cool. |
Very dramatic. As exciting as it can be. A wonderful day for college football. It's something we'll never forget. For an energy junkie like me, it can't get any better than that. To be challenged to the last tick of the clock is really special for me. |
