People always talk about the front seven stopping the run or not stopping the run. But it takes all 11 guys to stop the run, and all 11 didn't do that.
coming doubt early football guys knew looks people season smiling talented team type
There's no doubt about it. We knew that coming into the year. This is the most talented football team I've been around. I know what a championship team looks like. I told the guys early in the season we can be that type of team. We don't have to play people close. If we play like we're capable, we'll be smiling at the end of every game.

I'm thinking that if I don't catch him we are down 10 points and the way we are playing right now it is over. But thank God I had a little juice left in the tank.

He had been killing us in practice and that is why coach Fox had to put him up. He had been making plays on our defense and really looking good.
ready short sounds
It was very important. Two-and-two sounds a whole lot better than one-and-three. It was very important for us to get this win. Especially on a short week, so now we can get ready for Arizona.

They stayed within themselves and they played well,
