Grandsons are next - Ponder get busy.

The next thing is having grandchildren (of former players).

Tonight, the No. 1 team in the nation is playing the No. 2 team in the nation. The next best team is Penn State. So we ain't playing a dad-gum nobody. We're playing Penn State, No. 3 in the nation. Now if we can hang with those guys, maybe we've got the material to get back on up there where we belong.

All my life, I've been right next to a football field. I never knew nothing else.

Faith is the most important thing in the world to me. It's the greatest strength I've had. It's helped me get through the hard times. You're not going to win every one of your football games. I've always said I'm not going to make football my god. A lot of coaches put so much into coaching football games that they have nothing left.

When you fail to score when you get down there like we did, it might haunt you sometime. I'm sure that 'Well here we go again,' entered my mind.
