Losing coach Chow is one thing, but Sarkisian is like a big brother to me. You guys are going to find out. They're both [Sarkisian and Kiffin] probably two of the smartest young coaches in college football. |
Matt knows me pretty well,'' White said smiling. |
My arm feels better than ever. Also, it helps that I'm getting all day to throw out there. |
My main strengths are leadership, game management - what I've done in games the last three years. |
My teammates would want to do it, but since they're not doing it they make fun of me. |
Obviously, after playing at USC where we won almost every game we played in, then going to a team that may struggle, it (will be tough). But it's all (about) preparation and work. I work hard no matter what, and I will bring my accountability and my work ethic to an organization and help that team win. |
Obviously, our guys know that I'm the guy who needs to know everything. It's my job to get everybody in the right position, tell them what to do or who to block or what routes to run. |
Obviously, that guy is a freaky runner. |
Oh my goodness, I've never seen him flip out like that. He was so mad that the guy missed his assignment. He picked the guy up, threw the guy on the ground and started cussing - and he never cusses. He's like barbaric on the field. He just plays the game so intensely. |

One of the great finishes in the history of college football. |
People treat you different. There's a lot more demands. I get a lot of attention everywhere I go, ... Other than that, it's been a great ride. I'm able to handle the pressure and expectations. I've never gotten a big head. It's a blessing what I've accomplished....(But) I'm still the same person. |
Personally, I'd go. I'd go to the NFL. |
Positive. Most people don't know this about me, because I never talked about it; it's not something football players want to get around the locker room. But as a kid, I'd watch Fred Astaire movies with my mom and dad and I'd think, 'If I could be him, I'd be the happiest man in the world.' Sure, I wanted a shot at another national championship, but the real reason I stayed an extra year in school was to take that ballroom dancing class to see if it was for me. And it was. |
Right now we're right where I hoped we were going to be when I made my decision. But I feel like this has been the best time of my life, these last four or five years, and Wednesday is kind of the culmination. |
