They can beat you with designed runs, they can beat you with play-action and they can beat you by freelancing off a busted play.

Now we have a chance to accomplish the things that this game has cost us over the years.
blocked dumb might people remember
It was very controversial when we did it. I remember people asking, 'Coach, how dumb are you? He might get hurt.' He blocked a punt on his first play.
bottom chance doubt finish good great harder high polls rated rather since start teams top win wish year
If you're good enough to finish where you want to, and that's to win all your games, you'd rather start high because it's a lot harder now to come from the bottom to the top than it used to be. If you're out of the top 10 and some other teams have good seasons, you can have a great year like Auburn did and not have a chance to win it all. So there's no doubt that it's more important. I wish we started polls in October. Since we do not, I'd rather be rated high.
coaches family knew national realize talked texas until
I knew about Texas from being around coaches in my family, but I didn't realize it was such a national place until I got here. When you say something at Texas, it's talked about nationally, not just in your neighborhood.

I like Pete, so that makes this week easier. If you don't like the other coach, it's a longer week.

That was a killer. It was early enough in the game that it shouldn't have been so big.

Since the first of the year people were talking about this possibility, but they would tell you that the odds of it happening weren't very good.
reporting
It's unprofessional for someone to be reporting something that's not factual.

It's hard to put David or Bo on the bench. Bo's healthy right now, David's coming along really, really well, and we'd like to have formations with both those guys in.

They're treated like celebrities. It's a smaller town than L.A., and they're treated like NFL players there. They're very recognized. People are always asking for their autographs when they're out, so they're really appreciated.
college football great leaves
I think he will be, ... one of the great quarterbacks to ever play college football before he leaves Texas.
believed coming guys hard kept played seldom three win
At times, we didn't play very good. But we played hard and we believed and we played with confidence. Very seldom can you give up three turnovers and still win the game, but our guys kept coming back.
college great next players shot win
I think he's one of the great players ever to play college football. If he comes back next year, which we think he will, he'll have a great shot to win the Heisman.
