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.
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.
This was a night for championships. Texas did a great job, wonderful job, all night. We had to keep scoring all night to outscore them. They were great champions tonight. If you have to step aside for somebody tonight, they're the team to do that for.
In 1999, I got fired as coach of New England. In three years in New England, we actually did better than most people think. We were 27-21, won the AFC division title, went to the playoffs twice.
We would have won the game right there. The decision, in my opinion, in our way of thinking, you're going for it all the time.
Very dramatic. As exciting as it can be. A wonderful day for college football. It's something we'll never forget. For an energy junkie like me, it can't get any better than that. To be challenged to the last tick of the clock is really special for me.
I look at that as recognition for the effort from our staff. And congratulations to Karl. He's done a wonderful job getting his program going. He's deserving.

That right there is where the game was won and lost. We make the first down, we win the game.
It's been wonderful doing what we've been doing. It's too bad it had to end.
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.
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.
Without a question it was a phenomenal effort. You can't take anything away from a special performance like that.
