effort fight football found good liked lost offensive standpoint talented took
We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense. I liked the way we played, from a standpoint of effort and aggressiveness. I thought we were very physical. I thought we took the fight to Notre Dame. They're a very talented offensive football team. (But) there's nothing good about losing. Nothing.

We've really gotten a lot of work, and we're much improved in that area from the day we started spring practice.

We should have played Grady, and we're going to play somebody else this week because, simply, it's too much to play Mike Hart every down like we did in that game. Looking back on it, that's certainly something I would have done different.

Vince Young is the finest athlete I've ever been on the field with.
changed control hard nobody ohio played playing pressure state tempo throw trouble
We thought if we get control of the game, Ohio State would have trouble playing from behind, but they played very well from behind. Nobody ever would have thought they would throw for that kind of yardage, but they changed the tempo of the game, they made it very hard for us to pressure the quarterback.
asked question rose season stadium sugar sunshine team
The question I was asked before the season was, 'Would you be disappointed to not be in the Sugar Bowl?' ... I can tell you, I would never be disappointed to take a team to the Rose Bowl. To play in that stadium -- outdoors, on grass, in the sunshine -- how could you be disappointed?
anybody bowl history last national nebraska won
You look back at the last 30 years, and they've won more national championships than anybody in the country. We have a history with Nebraska going back to the (1986) Fiesta Bowl and, of course, the '97 co-national championship.
