We decided we couldn't (cover punts) with two sprinters, ... So we said, 'Let's get seven sprinters going off the line so we can cover them.'
The requests that you have are unbelievable. That's what Notre Dame is all about.
A lot of people didn't even know we were being investigated. When the news broke last week, our freshmen were like, 'We were under investigation? No one ever told us.' It's not like I bothered to tell them.
I think that win really turned our program around,

I just have an enthusiasm for life.
If you made me the national commissioner of football, I'd tell you one thing that I would mandate. The second Saturday in September, we're going to have conference day.

I think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make.
