That's between the University of Miami and the conference. They're probably going to say, 'Hey, what do you want to do?' But it won't make a lick of difference what we say. |
The early church, when they started, they were together. They had unity. They had oneness. And they ended up impacting the world, ... One morning I read that and I said, 'That's just like the game of football.' It's not necessarily that the church had the richest people or the brightest people, but they had unity and they had oneness. A football team, you don't necessarily have to have the biggest and the fastest, guys who can jump the highest and bench press the most, but if you've got unity and oneness, you have a chance to be a champion. |
The game will slow down for him the next time. He will see things better, anticipate things better. I think he will have a much better feel in his next game. |
The intensity was good. We've got a lot of work to do, but the intensity was there, and that's what you're looking for on the first day (in pads). You'd like perfect execution, but you'll take intensity on the first day. |
The pressure is more on the defense because you have a three-year starter standing back there at quarterback rather than a rookie. There's the pressure on the defense knowing he can take advantage of any little mistake. |
There are no utopia jobs on this earth, ... There's nobody out there that can say, 'I've got the ideal job and there are no problems.' If your self worth is based on what other people think of you, you're in trouble. My self worth is not based on them. My self worth is based on my faith, how I treat others, what I'm doing right for this program and these kids and this coaching staff. Other than that, I understand you're not going to please everybody. |
There was initial disappointment because it's so much tougher for our families and our fans to get to the games. I don't think it was this bowl or San Francisco. I think it was just the thought of having to travel so far. If San Francisco were in South Alabama, I think it would be fine. |
There will be a game of cat-and-mouse at the beginning of this game, ... much like there was at last week's game. |
There will be some differences, some new wrinkles. |
These guys have a tremendous ability to compartmentalize -- put all the junk to the side and play the game. All the other stuff they can't control. What we can control is what happened out there. |
They both are the same in that you better stop the running game or you're in for a long day. |
They didn't do anything fancy or unusual that we haven't worked on, but when you play them, you have to get ready for a ton of stuff. When you haven't spent a ton of time on something, sometimes they get you, and they got us good. |
They executed very well I thought. They did a great job of execution. We didn't do a good job of getting people in the right spots to defend like we needed to do. |
They put pressure on you at all times. They stay on top of you. That's why they win 45-0 instead of 28-0 or 28-10. |
They thought that was the winning edge, ... It 's not the winning edge; he is the winning edge. They learned that the hard way because they lost the battle, and I realized that I've been dealing with its a lot in my life. |
