exactly farthest playing reference week
It's the farthest thing from complicated right now because Troy's not playing this week and we're playing Miami. . . . I don't know exactly what complicated means, from this reference point, but there's no complication now in my mind.
bowl doubt four games group playing seniors sent special sure tying win wins
There's something special about playing in the Fiesta Bowl, no doubt about it. The seniors have done so much here (becoming the first group to win four bowl games and tying a school-record with 43 wins as a class), I wanted to make sure we sent them out as champions.
college extremely forward great history move playing programs rolling
As we move forward to play Texas, we don't need to say much more than we're playing Texas, one of the great programs in the history of college football. They've got things rolling there right now extremely well.
assuming depends future guy largely playing saturday
I would think that if I'm a guy going out and playing on Saturday that I'm assuming my future playing depends largely on what I do.
football game playing tough
It's a tough football game for all of us to be playing so early. We'll see if we can compete.
ball battle behind changed continued extremely face fell game great hands heck john kept kids lead michigan playing proud staff teams until week
As you know, we had a heck of a ball game with Michigan State, ... John L. (Smith) and his staff did a great job. The lead changed hands often in that game, two teams playing extremely hard, and like we face each week in the Big Ten, it was a battle down until the end. I'm real proud of the way our kids continued to play. We fell behind (but) we kept going after it and I'm very proud of them.
playing scout
Maurice is going to be playing tailback on our scout team.
believe group kept known looking maybe playing revealed
I've always known this group has character, but you know, maybe it was revealed again, with them being down, you know, it not looking so wonderful. But they kept playing and they believe in each other.
biggest command couple games learn playing plays relaxing seen sitting snaps tape task totally valuable wait wants weeks
I don't think I've seen Troy yet totally in command and relaxed. He really wants to do well and couldn't wait to get in and play after sitting out a couple games there when we were playing two weeks ago. This week I thought was very, very valuable in that he got 71 snaps and that he got a lot of plays on tape and a lot of things he can learn from. I just think it's just relaxing and being in command with the whole situation. To me, that's the biggest task that he has to tackle.
chasing dame fast running
Notre Dame is a fast defense, (but) when they're chasing one way, and Teddy's running the other, they've got a problem.
alumni football game great interest largest last level might ohio pick schools state
especially because they're Ohio State and Texas, two great schools that if you had to pick two you'd want to see play, if it's the last game you'd ever want to see in your life, it might be these two and that makes it special, two great football states, two great schools, two of the largest alumni in the world. The interest level is tremendous.
diego good last san state sure
I'm not sure San Diego State was as good as the last two offenses we've played.
joe ncaa penn supposed
I thought that was the way it was supposed to be. You really become a part of the community, part of the institution. Joe Paterno is not just a part of Penn State, but a part of NCAA football.
closer field goal score
I was disappointed we didn't get it closer for the field goal if we weren't going to score a touchdown,
