It was really a unique experience. I had been at the University of Pacific for my first three years coaching. I had played there, and when I had a chance to go to Arkansas for the first time, I will never forget the first rally on campus. It was crazy, and the energy was awesome, and the band was playing and the students went nuts. It was the first sense of what big-time college football was like, to be on the inside of it. That year at Arkansas was the year that really energized me about being a college coach and liking it and coaching on the big level. I got captured by it.
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.
They have played really good football, and they have tons of highlights and good things to show, ... But they have been unable to get their win in the Pac-10. That just screams about the Pac-10 offenses. They bring in a terrific running back, a terrific receiver.
(Sanchez) had a very solid day today. We really mixed it around and played a lot of stuff off of the running game, and we tried to balance it out more than we have in the past to make it more realistic, and he handled it very well. It's a very positive sign.
I don't understand. We've played in that setting for years, and I think it adds to the game and the excitement of it.
He was on the whole time. He was whipping it around all day and the protection was awesome for him. He just played a terrific game.
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,
