bowl came game seniors since win won
We haven't won a bowl game since 2001, so I think it's an important game for the program, and an important game for the seniors just to go out with a win. We came in with a (bowl) win and haven't won one since.
deserve felt game guys happen knew playing remember whipped
I just remember they whipped our behinds. I knew it was going to happen before the game even started. I think most guys did, too. A lot of guys didn't care. They thought, 'Oh, we're just playing Iowa.' It felt like they didn't deserve to be here anyway.

We've always been known as a soft program, a finesse program -- all about speed, whatever. We're just trying to go out and show everybody this isn't the Gators that you're used to looking at. We're trying to show them that we're really tough and that we're really going to go out and play.

When he got hurt, I was devastated. I played in a daze for awhile. But when he came out of the tunnel on crutches and started cheering for us, it snapped me out of it. That's how much he means.
foot hungry people practice since stepped
He's been hungry since he first stepped foot here. He's a playmaker. You just look at some people and say, 'Hey, this guy's going to be a playmaker.' Just by practice you can tell. He's doing the same thing (in games).
guys rested
Because of the way we practice, there will be a lot better effort. Guys are relaxed, they're rested up and they're going at it.
