It has been a great process, ... It has been really fun to put the thing together with the challenge of trying to replace really terrific football coaches. Now we have to go out and prove what we're all about. There is a lot of scrutiny and question marks that I think are valid, but I think this group is going to do a great job.
Without a question it was a phenomenal effort. You can't take anything away from a special performance like that.
LenDale White got asked about 30 questions to try to get him to say something. He was true to his word the whole way through and somebody thinks they got something out of him. Our guys are great, competitive kids and they want to play and they want the ball. I think that's a really good attribute.
There's no question that as much pressure as can be generated in college football is surrounding Matt. He's marvelous at dealing with it, but he's just a kid, too. He's got his times when he'd much rather be outside all of the attention, but that's just life and that's what it is.
There's no question he stepped out of character so we have to help him. We went through it the way that we do it. We considered all the circumstances and how remorseful the guy was.
No question it helps. I wish I had two weeks for every game.
I had a chance to talk to Coach Wooden and asked him about the question of repeating,
All of those questions are ones that are directed at you because you have something you're shooting for. For us to be in a position where any of those arguments even matter, we have a lot of games to win. It's not an issue right now. If we get down to the very end and we're fortunate enough to be in position, then we'll deal with it. Right now, it's not something we talk about.
I think, the more, the better. We've been in the spotlight so long, it's become normal.
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.
We couldn't stop them when we had to.
We couldn't stop them, and the quarterback ran all over the place.
Well, we couldn't stop them when we had to. The quarterback ran all over the place. This is their night. It's wonderful doing what we've been doing. We didn't get it done.
Well, they have brought that same concept. They have a broader spectrum of things that they do in their offensive game plan. The thing I am really impressed with is how well they can execute that.
