I would have done this for free, just to fight in Madison Square Garden. |
I'm taking this as a one-fight deal right now. |
It didn't happen, though. The what-ifs. |
It doesn't matter who we're facing next week. We're going to have to get better. I don't think this is going to diminish our confidence. We're going to come back and show our true character. |
It looked like [Brandon] Hoyte got it out, so I picked it up and started running. But looking at the replay, they made the right call. |
It was a coverage we were working on all week. When they got into three-receiver sets, I was sitting outside that third receiver, so any time we've got an out route, I can jump it. |
It wasn't that Cal did anything spectacular. They just played their game. |
That's only one-third of the game. I'm pretty sure their offense and our defense are pretty important, too. |
That's our team. We're way too competitive. We're not just going to, as coach says, 'Slap it out there.' We're going to go out there, and plays are going to be made, people are going to be hit. |
The only resolution I have is winning this game. I don't really have anything else. |
There was no way I was fair-catching it. I'd catch too much grief from my teammates. |
They went with their judgment and you can't blame them. |
This is a BCS game. That other stuff has nothing to do with us. (This year), there is a lot of maturity with the guys. Coach, with his experience in the NFL, gives us that extra edge. |
We are a little uneasy but the secondary will make plays. After we get settled in you will see that we make plays. |
We have to stay on our receivers even if it looks like he's running. He could still throw it. We have to contain and not be over aggressive. |
