I guess that's complimentary. I don't know how you react to that. I think we have good players who play well together. I don't know if you can say all-time. There have been a lot of great players and great teams that have been much more successful than this one.

They play well together because there is no jealousy within the relationship, none whatsoever. The key is that there is no envy with the two of them.

Two years ago at Michigan the crowd noise was pretty heavy there, obviously, with 110,000 that had to play a big factor. It was one of those situations where I think our team had to resort to silent counts. We adjusted pretty well with it at Tennessee last year, but not so well at Michigan two years ago.

We didn't play particularly well in the beginning or end of that (first) match. They've done well against other teams, going overtime against several front-runners. So they have a nice team, they put you under pressure a lot.

We needed to play an 'A' game and not a 'B' game. But the boys responded well. They played hard, put West under pressure - West is good, physical, (with) good team speed - and we just needed to close some of those chances down and get forward ourselves.

The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.
