I anticipate him playing Saturday. |
I can't put too much emphasis on the positive of a football game. But it is a good diversion. |
I do think we were the better team (tonight). |
I don?t know what happened and I don?t condone it. |
I don't know all the details of what happened after the game, but certainly we don't condone activities such as that. That certainly detracts from a great bowl game and what the spirit of college football is all about. |
I don't know how much effect it has after things get started. Normally, and I use a little Bill Belichick philosophy here, after the game starts, all the hype and the rah-rah and the rhetoric goes out the window and now you play the game. |
I don't know if any program will ever have a streak like that again. It's a different world. |
I don't know if anyone really tried to inspire or instigate it. It just happened. It's just the way things are here. There's a special bond. |
I don't know if there was any central theme or message. I didn't pay much attention to things like we were going to lose the class and all these things. I went into a home upbeat and positive and knew what I had to sell. I know we're going in the right direction. |
I don't know what happened and I don't condone it. |
I don't know when's the last time Miami had a terrible season and looked terrible on the field. But that first half, that might have been a throwback to that time. |
I don't think it's a big deal. It's not like he missed two days and we're getting ready to play a game tomorrow. |
I don't think talent is an issue. |
I don't think we have slipped talent-wise. I think we're talented enough to play with anybody. But I do sense our guys are not happy, not satisfied, and they shouldn't be, with last season. There really was some embarrassment there for all of us. No doubt, there is a sense of urgency. We need to go out with excitement, with hunger, every week. We had that at times last season, but not all the time. I guess you could point the finger at me, but we did not play with consistency. |
I don't think we stopped playing. I don't think we played the entire day. |
