I want to win a national championship and I think our team has the ability, without a doubt next year to win it, especially with the people we have coming back. |
I wasn't thinking anything about revenge coming into this game. What enabled us to win was the execution of our game plan. |
I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it. But at the same time, we don't try to focus on that. Really, when it comes down to it, that's not even an option if we don't win this week. So really, all we're thinking about is Stanford right now. |
I'm a big believer in my faith and I actually believe God helped me make the decision to come to Notre Dame for a reason. I feel the same way about Him giving me the feeling it's in my best interest to come back for another year and it's in my best interest to finish up school and be ready for the real world when football ends. |

I'm happy with what happened out there. It's always good to finally get out there and seeing what it's like actually being in front of everyone and actually running (Weis' offense) the first time when it actually means something. |
I've always been confident in myself and my abilities. At this stage of my career, having coach Weis and having as much talent as I have around me, I may be one of the cockiest guys in the nation. |
It all comes down to wins and losses, and today we couldn't pull it out in the end, |
It almost has the feeling of going through two-a-days in training came, so it hasn't been a hard transition at all. |
It feels good, that's the way it should be. But numbers are just numbers and I'm just happy we won. A lot of hard work went into this, a lot of game-planning and a lot of scheming. It's not as easy as it looked. |
It feels so good to see the clock run out and have a winning score. |
It was a situation where we needed to come out with a score. I hadn't been all that productive the entire game. There was a point in time where I needed to step up and do some things. |
It was more a feeling of hunger than anything else. |
It's hard to give an answer to the question. |
It's obviously a lot more comfortable when you're calling the plays down on the field. I can come up to [ Charlie Weis ] on the sidelines and talk to him face to face. You can see his emotions, what he's thinking, by the way he's talking to you. That's something that's help me, being able to have that face-to-face with him, being able to talk with him. |
