You heard what he said. He wants to play with his teammates, he loves being here, and there's no amount of money that could take that away from him. I think that's an extraordinary statement.
To get this far this fast is impressive. We have to find out how far he can take it. He played particularly well in the last scrimmage. Cushing's able to hold his own, no doubt about it.
This wound up being a bend-but-don't break game, ... I hate to play like that, but that's what this game became. The opportunity to win was still there, and it came down to, 'Are you going to get it done, or aren't you?'
We feel very fortunate to be in this situation at this time of year. It's a beautiful time to be coaching and playing football. This is the situation we all hope for. We all want to get in the Rose Bowl. The situation this year is a little different.
You gotta believe you're going to win the way that happened.
The defenses are similar but the points of emphasis are different. We each do something a little different.
The defense played well because the run-and-shoot is truly a challenge.
We've grown to the point where we need these kind of challenges. It keeps us strong.

Before I talk to a coach, I usually talk to the athlete's guidance counselor to make sure he or she is qualified to attend Swarthmore.
Family is family. That means we open the doors to them. I think our players are comfortable with people at practice. We try to do a real nice job of screening. I'm not paranoid about it. However, we're going to do everything we can to try and not let the wrong people watch.
Everybody will be kept in-house and great order, as well.
Tonight the offense was just rolling. We finally got rolling in the turnover situation. We've been quiet lately. Stanford has been such a stingy team. We wanted to turn that thing around. To get five and give none, we loved that.
