Now it's time for the second part of the season and the finish, ... Now, we prepare for that. |
Oklahoma is in our way to where we are trying to get, ... So, we have to beat them. We have to beat the next opponent next week, Colorado. We are No. 2 in the nation right now, so a lot of guys are going to give it all they've got to hurt our season. |
Oklahoma throws a lot at you, ... So I made it a point to get my head ready and the mental part of the game ready so that I would be prepared this year. |
Our defense and special teams were huge today, ... I would give myself about a C-plus. |
Our defense was incredible, ... I'll take the sack and let them get the ball back for us. |
Our last decade had been the most successful of Iowa State football. You can't discount that overnight because a 19-year-old student puts the ball on the ground at the 1-yard line. |
Our plan is to bring this thing back to Texas, where it belongs — in the South. Growing up, I've always been a believer that real football is played in Texas. |
Our relationship is great. Like father, like son. Like big brother, little brother, ... I just love being around him. He's done a whole lot for me. With him I learn football but also learning just life, period, becoming a man. |
Perfect is hard to get but we did a great job today. We came out to win the game and we expected to win. We had a great game today - the offense, defense and special teams all played great. We're going to keep playing hard. We hope we made a statement to the bowl voters today. |
Quit acting like we accomplished something, ... We haven't reached our goals yet. |
Rain, snow, whatever it takes, we have to win this ballgame. |
Respect. A lot of people who watch and understand the game of football could see how much I wanted that for my teammates and fans and family. It's been real crazy ever since, but it's been a blessing, and the hard work paid off a whole lot. |
Right now, I feel like I let my guys down. Right now, I feel like I let my family down. |
Right now, we're the best of friends. If I want to go and just get away, go to coach's house and just talk and sit back and relax, we're just like that. |
She hollered about a lot of stuff that day, but those were the words I heard. |
