He's never really been in this type of game before where he was the starter and where he really had to fight the adverse conditions. He handled it like a champion. He did not flinch.
I don't think we've seen him as good as he can play, and he played really good the last five or six games last year. I don't want to put any pressure on him, but he's a special guy.
He was awesome. He was probably more fired up during the game than anyone.
I think we've been taking Bennett for granted around here a long time. He's made those kicks in the games we've been winning. Gosh, you take nine points right there we've got a chance to win the game.
I wasn't as excited about the game after watching film as I was right after the game, ... they'll see things weren't as good as everybody is writing right now.
A lot of this game will be trying to make adjustments as quickly as possible after we find out some of the goodies they've got ready for us.
No coordinator can say he's got to stop our run game because we can't pass, ... And no one can say if we stop their pass, there's no way they can run well enough to beat us. We're good enough in both to make teams play us honestly.

This is their chance to get in during a game and do it when it counts. This is their chance to show the coaches that they deserve more playing time.
It's a big game for us, I can promise you. They have done a wonderful job of stopping the running game and that's our strength going into this season.
Sean had a great first game and a great last game. In between he did OK, but was not as productive as I hoped. He had some trouble dropping the ball, as did some other guys.
I know the BCS games get a lot more attention throughout the bowl season. You usually get a lot more people talking about your game.
I've never lost a game for H-O-R-S-E yet at my house,
Not really, for two reasons. Number one, we looked at him and knew he was a very talented guy. We knew he could throw well and was very intelligent. And number two, when you're working with a coach who can make you understand the game and what it is you're trying to accomplish like Coach Spurrier can, you expect the quarterbacks to play well.
