It was like, 'Did that really just happen. That's supposed to happen to us. |
It's huge for us. When you look at everything we've been through this season, all the injuries, the adversity, three straight losses, everything else, we could still put a band-aid on our season. |
It's something you can tell your grandkids. That you actually played for the guy that won the most and played against the guy that was second on the list. |
It's supposed to happen to us. |
My goals are a lot higher than that. I'm only twenty-something hours away from graduating. And, more importantly, I never felt like I was through, and once you leave, that's it. |
Oh man. It has really surprised me. Obviously, we knew the potential these young guys had, but I'd be lying if I said I thought they'd come in and make this impact this early. Especially with these receivers. |
People can say what they want about the season. |
That bothers me the most. We had all the momentum. Not only a blocked punt, but a second blocked punt... we're at home, the crowd is going nuts, you couldn't have asked for a better situation.... and we couldn't capitalize. We couldn't make it happen. |
That's something that I take very seriously. |
That's something that not only us and the coaching staff, but the fans want to see, too. Back in '95 and '96 when Warrick Dunn and Rock Preston did it, it was real effective. |
That's why I went and talked to (Coach Bowden) about it. Obviously after looking at (Washington's senior season) it was something I needed to do and it went great. It's really not something I'm worried about anymore. |
The main thing is I really want to do what guys like Vince Young and Reggie Bush did, which was really put their team on their back and carry them to the promised land. I feel like I can do that. |
The main thing was I just wanted to be able to do things that guys like (Texas quarterback) Vince Young and (Southern California tailback) Reggie Bush did, which was to put the team on their backs and carry them. Because I feel like I can do that. |
There was stuff that supposedly happened that we didn't think happened. That is what is irritating. Never have I felt in my heart that we should have won the game like I feel now. |
They're new, and this year, they're getting a lot of hype because they're nationally ranked, but we don't care about that. We're Florida State. We feel like we should be welcoming everybody. |
