achieved classroom college football represents truly
He truly represents what you want to have in a college football player. He's achieved on the field, in the classroom and off the field, in the community.
time moving time-to-move-on
I just feel that you reach a point when its time to move on.
disappointment adversity tragedy
Those who have succeeded have also had the ability to overcome adversity, disappointment, and even tragedy in their lives.
disappointment winning las-vegas
Milestones you'd like to reach before retiring? Not really. Because when I began it was never to reach 100 games or reach 200 or to get high on the all-time list or whatever else. Those things are by-products. I want to win another championship, beginning with the conference championship. The thing that was disappointing to me last year was the fact that we did not win the conference championship. I felt like we just let that game (against Air Force in Las Vegas) get away from us.
time winning utah
Edwards said the greatest moment of his career was winning the national championship. The lowest moment (of my career) happens every time we lose to Utah.
time years two
At some point in time it will be right for me to step aside. That may be after this year, but that may be after two or three more years.
