Is it human nature that we're going to be complacent? I don't see that in any way, ... As a staff, we've worked harder and longer and recruited more than ever before. Probably the opposite of what you think has happened we're more driven then ever.
I'm confident that's not where this is going. The information that I have thus far, I don't think that's going to happen at all.
It really felt this way when we talked as a team last night that this could happen in a big way. It was like we could have kept playing all night and had all that fun.
I'm just kind of taking a stand on it. I just don't like the thing. I know everybody else is going nuts for it. I just never liked it before. I just like the game to be played on the field and to put the faith in the officials and players and let that happen the way it's always happened. I'm just a stick in the mud about it and I'm obviously not winning this one.
I don't have to make any decisions because when we started out, John David was well ahead of Mark. It couldn't happen at a better time.
That happened in a flash. He was up and over him. I don't even know how you can measure that time frame. He has extraordinary reactions.
He's going to be involved in a lot of special teams.
It was exactly the right thing to do. You want to win the game right there.
As we do every spring, we'll try to establish the high level of competitiveness, intensity and work ethic that have been the hallmark of our program. Spring football is a very important time for us to develop and capture those attributes.
That quarterback just ran all over the place. He made the difference. This is their night. Hats off to 'em.
I love Larry Bird, but I don't agree with him. I love him and respect everything about him. I learned a long time ago, and I've made this statement: Coaches don't lose their expertise and ability to make the calls.
I think it's a tremendous accomplishment. I made it clear to the guys after the fact,
He is handling it as well as you can handle it, but there is a tremendous burden for him and he is just a young pup trying to make it,
He'll be sore, but we'll be counting on him,
