He's a competitor, he was excited out there and he wanted to make up for time missed. We felt that based on preparation and what we're doing, both (quarterbacks) could contribute to a win. As it turns out, when we put the film on, that very well could have happened. But it didn't.
chance players round time
I tell my players if they have a chance to be a first round selection, it's time to go.
beat conference focus game guys hard looking might next spend thinking time
Occasionally, all of us, I'm sure, think back to, gosh, if I would have called a different game ... we might have beat Texas. But you better not spend too much time thinking about those things. Once you get into conference play, the guys are looking hard to see who beat who and who do we have next and what have we got to do. I think their focus is very good.

I guess that says something about how much attention should be paid to recruiting rankings. What's made A.J. so special is that he doesn't really pay attention to what anyone says about him, whether it's good or bad.

I learned a long time ago - I've been around football longer than some of you have been alive - and there's two things that you don't listen to: flattery, which can't help you, and abuse, which can't hurt you. You have to look at the facts,
enjoy environment feeling guys land memories moment relish time until walk wonderful
The environment at the Fiesta Bowl, from the time you land until you play the game, is extraordinary. There are wonderful memories when you walk into that stadium. I think our guys are going to relish that feeling and enjoy every moment of that.

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.

I'm not sure San Diego State was as good as the last two offenses we've played.
