block both players programs sides time tough
I think any time you have both programs having a lot of success, there's going to be a lot of attention. It's going to be tough for players on both sides to block out all that attention.
certainly good odds played tough
They certainly never played the odds or did what would be conventional. When you make good on those risks, you're tough to beat.
ecstatic fortunate given guys happy impacts season stuff
That stuff impacts the way guys play. I know this, we're ecstatic to be here. But, I'd think we would be happy with any bowl. Given how our season went, we're fortunate to be anywhere.

Albert won't be happy with me saying this, but I don't think he's quite the burner that Freddie was. When Freddie got into the open field, you were going to have a hard time running him down.

We don't get the headlines, we don't expect to see our pictures in the paper, that's not why we play. We play for days like (Saturday) where you really feel like the team put the game on your shoulders and it feels good to deliver. I've been part of offensive lines that didn't deliver. That doesn't feel very good.
