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.'
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.
The requests that you have are unbelievable. That's what Notre Dame is all about.
I think that win really turned our program around,
The University of Notre Dame does not redshirt, and I endorse that policy completely. I am very much in favor of redshirting, but not at Notre Dame. But there's no doubt about it. It puts us at a huge disadvantage.
This is not about Lou Holtz. This is about South Carolina.
I haven't seen anything that would compare to the anxiety of the game. Look at this: USC was No. 1 preseason, Texas was No. 2 and it never changed the entire year. Everyone said these would be the two best teams in the entire country and they were. How often does that happen?
Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.
Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.
Only the unprepared are overcome by pressure
Build your empire on the firm foundation of the fundamentals.
Never settle for second when first is available
I just have an enthusiasm for life.
A team wins with the elimination of mistakes and with people who want to win and can't stand losing.
