That's all we heard since the Auburn game. Everybody wanted to forget about our nine wins to start the season. I don't care what people say about me, but the fact we're going out with the Cotton Bowl championship and a 10-2 record, that shows we've got this program headed in the right direction. That's a great way to go. |
That's all we talked about all week, that we could make history. |
That's what makes this team different from all the other teams we've had. Even when we don't have the momentum, even when we're not playing great, we're still finding ways to win. |
That's what we're here for. We can't reach our dreams if we don't have confidence in ourselves to get the win. |
They are two of the biggest characters on the team. But going against them every day [in practice], they're the best two that I've ever played against. |
This is exactly where we thought we'd be. |
This is the best part of it all. To come and talk to the kids is an honor for me. This may be the only time they get to meet a collegiate athlete, so it is exciting for us to come and tell them to enjoy life. One thing I tell them is never say never and to keep fighting. |
To be able to do what they did, no sacks -- I got hit once and that was a late hit -- was amazing. |
We didn't have the first half we wanted. On first down we'd get a first down. Then we would have three straight plays where we couldn't get 5 yards. That's not the type offense that we have been practicing. |
We haven't been able to pick up third-and-short running all year. But I think our offensive line is finally coming together. |
We haven't won an overtime game since I came to Alabama. |
We ran the ball ten times better than we have all year and when we do that we don't have to throw it as much. (Our running backs) ran the ball really well. The offensive line came up huge as well and created some big holes. |
We were thinking the game might be over. Their kicker had been shaky all day. |
We've been saying all week they've got a great defense. If we're going to face a tougher one, we might not want to face them. Their front four was awesome. It's the best front I've played against in college. |
