People are always looking for the hot new deal. I don't particularly like it because it takes away from the standard traditional football stuff.
It would be awesome to go a couple more games and have a chance to be in a position like that. I know their fans and their followers have just got to be loving it.
I don't see the challenge as overwhelming but just different from the previous years,
That was a very good first opportunity, but we were piping in crowd noise that day. We don't have to this time.
Absolutely, heck yeah. We're counting on that competition.
I feel very comfortable about it. ... I don't think there's any issue at all.
I always think, for a little California kid growing up and watching the Rose Bowl. It doesn't get any better right now. This is as much fun as you can have.
That was so much fun. That was so exciting. It was very dramatic. For an energy junkie like myself, it can't get any better. It was a wonderful day for college football. Something I'll never forget.
Matt Leinart's decision to return for his senior year really sent a message about him as a person and about how much fun it is to play college football.
I think that drive to fight the fight day in and day out, I think that can go away. You can lose that. As long as you continue to be consumed and overwhelmed with the desire to get better and find another way and keep competing to figure out what you can do to help make this guy be better than he was a day ago, as long as that's there, I don't agree.
If we can do this, what can't we do? ... If we can sustain losing Norm . . . what can't we handle?
He's so unique and so explosive and such a great competitor. He has all the physical talents to do it. But he was on a real good football team with some great players around him. It's unfair to expect Reggie to go to Houston and carry that team on his shoulders.
Somebody is going to get us some day. That's just the way it goes. When it last happened, we turned around and haven't lost since. ... It's how you're going to respond to that (loss) that's important.
Obviously, the focus goes to Sanchez. He gets a great opportunity to be in charge, run the whole thing. We'll just try to maximize that, get Mike McDonald some work and wait for J.D. to get better.
