Dan and his guys are a lot like us, ... trying to get back down to earth. |
Don't let distractions beat you down, don't let critics take you out of getting where you need to go. |
Don't let this be the best thing that ever happens in your life. Maybe it'll be the best sports event, but don't let it be the best thing. Make sure you're a better father than this today. Make sure you're a better husband than this today. Because this goes away. ... It's a game. |
Don't you think you'll be the guy to just walk out there and run down the field and kill everybody. That's not the way it happens. Play within the system. Be smart. |
Duane started as our defensive backs coach and has become more and more involved with the defense each year. Since he moved into the co-coordinator spot last year, he has played a key role in developing game plans and preparing one of the most successful defenses in the country. |
Everybody's got scholarships and everybody's got good players. If it's a night where it's not working well, you better hang on and you better make some plays, |
Everywhere I went, he knew the coaches, their wives and their children's names. He sent anniversary and birthday cards on Cowboys stationery. He turned most into Cowboys fans. |
Figure out what your part is. And think about winning all week. |
First, let me thank all the Texas fans and let's congratulate a great USC team. Second, we want to thank the Rose Bowl. I'm proud of these kids, I'm proud of these coaches. |
For most of us who are historians, ... what a neat game. |
For whatever reason, we got off to a bad start with the extra points. He's never kicked in a game before. |
Good teams enjoy the hype, and they have the ability to focus. Young people come to Texas and SC for this game, and it's been a long time for us to get back to this game, and we took a baby step last year in this environment. I've talked to the kids about it. The only difference between this year and last year is the stakes are bigger. |
Having two great quarterbacks is not a problem, ... It's a good situation, and I've been there. Everybody talks about, 'Which one is going to play?' But the truth is, both of them are really good and can win. |
He (Snead) has been throwing already with the other guys. They have been very impressed with his arm strength. He and Colt should have a great grasp of what's going on in the spring. Our job is to get both these guys ready to play. |
He didn't miss one protection tonight, and I don't think he missed one against Ohio State. |
