He always is going to say something about the losing streak. Whenever he remembers, he comes and throws it at us. He's even thrown it at us when we're in the huddle sometimes. |
He did have an incredible game, but I don't know how much bearing that will have on this Fiesta Bowl. |
He flows to the ball. He somehow always finds the ball whether you are throwing or running. It's like he has this voodoo magic or something. |
He flows to the ball. It's almost like he's got some kind of voodoo magic or something. |
Hopefully, he'll be rooting for us. We'd rather have him on our side. |
I guess that sort of put a stamp on my decision. |
I noticed it a little bit. If the roles were reversed, we might have done the same thing. |
I think everybody was in there. It was a nice little day to lay out and actually have a little free time for a change. |
I think we worked towards that [performance]. A lot of the offense is returning. The chemistry is up, we gel, we know how each other plays, so moving the ball was something kind of simple for us. |
If I had to put this on a scale of 1 to 10, it's definitely a 10 right now. I think if I stay on that scale, it'll probably be a 15 out of 10 come Thursday and Friday. |
It definitely is a little strange to have to play against someone who recruited me. The main thing is I'm trying not to focus on that too much, about playing against him and playing against old coaches. We're going against Washington. |
It hurts. It really does. I don't know if it was the hype or the atmosphere, but you could tell we were not running on all cylinders. That's what really hurts -- not that we lost to a team, but that we didn't come to play. |
It seems that when we get in the huddle and we look at each other in the eyes, Brady [Quinn] calls a play, we know that the play's going to work. |
It's basically for bragging rights for the state of Indiana. Whoever wins that game is basically the ruler of the state and can talk all the trash for that particular year. |
It's incredible. This is the reason players pick a school like Notre Dame: Because we get the opportunity to play these kinds of teams. |
