We need to be challenged, ... and we need to be under the gun to respond.
What we did last year -- that was cool, that was fun. We made a great DVD. But that's behind us. This is a whole new challenge, just as it was last year and the year before.
We reacted exactly like we should. We had to put a stop to the bad stuff happening before it got too deep and we did that. The defense stopped them for 40 straight minutes and the offense scored seven of the final eight times we had the ball.
We're always worried that the parents are going to be shocked.
We might have come out a little early. It's still soft and soggy.
We need to organize it better, which means they need to let us go first.
As you can see, Charlie's factor in what they've been able to do is enormous,
He's been to the mountaintop, so to speak,
It's nothing like it was before, it wasn't that kind of injury, but they just don't know. We're going to be extra cautious.
I would think that Texas has a tremendous amount of motivation building into this game, just as we do, and they don't need any more than that. If that helps them, then it's OK. I can't do anything about it.
It's a display of respect for last year. We're proud of what we accomplished, and other people respect that. But it's what we do from this point forward that counts in 2005.
For the second week in a row we just were on a torrid pace to self-destruct in the first quarter.
It's all up to the individual. I think they've earned that right. They earned that by hard work.
This is a program that has found a level of excellence that's extraordinary. Now we'll go back to work and try to keep it going and get better.
