As players, we just decided we were going to go out there and play football. That is our job, to go out there, play football and not pay attention to other things going on. (Savage?s situation) is going to be taken care of regardless of what we want. |
He made a great throw, ... He did kind of catch me napping. |
He's a young guy. We've got to go out there and make things difficult for him, ... If our defensive line can get in his face, I think that's going to make things hard for him. |
I breathe deep into a certain confidence that this team has. We're getting better and making strides. We had a tough game last week, but that was one of the best teams in the NFL. We were there with an opportunity to win. |
I think if it is Garcia, having practiced against him every day would help a lot, but I wouldn't go into the game expecting seven turnovers just because you know the guy. It works both ways. We know him, but he knows us from practicing against us. We both do film study. It will come down to who is more prepared and who executes better. |
I think it's a perfect example of us packing it in too early and thinking we had the game won, |
I'm just glad that it's behind me. |
I'm not sure, man. I don't know. |
I've had the wind knocked out of me before. This was way worse than that. |
If we lose, you're going to see me sleeping in front of my locker. When you're No. 1, everybody wants to knock you off. It's not just the Notre Dame guys. |
It's definitely the most embarrassing loss of my career. This is way worse than '99. ... Today we stunk. |
It's definitely the most embarrassing loss of my career. This is way worse than '99. In '99, we didn't have a good team. Now we got talent. But from the opening kickoff, we played bad football. Today we stunk. |
Maybe some teams would have given up, but they fought and were able to get back in the game. It's really a lesson both ways. If you're down, you know there's always a chance until the clock reads triple zeros. If you're ahead, don't let up. |
No packages so far. I'm feeling pretty good, too. |
Part of it was we knew Ty pretty well, but part of it was it was we had an exceptional game, |
