I guarantee you the Rose Bowl hopes it gets as good a game out of Texas and USC.

We lost the game. We lost the Rose Bowl. We lost the co-champs. A lot of stuff we lost today.

I never lost four like that. Last year, before this game, I lost my defensive coordinator. He went to East Carolina. Much like Al did, I jumped in. I was the linebacker coach. I worked with the defense. I had a blast. I really did.

We've had some good contests in the last year; at the Rose Bowl, and up there in Columbus, that's about as big as it gets.

Rose Bowl, the granddaddy of the mall.

He?s an awfully good quarterback that happens to also be an outstanding athlete.
