I have to tell you, of all the positions where you lose a starter, like Anthony, the one I am most encouraged about would be tight end.

Jersey guys. No one else really matters.

On the one hand, they hear from the Notre Dame alum that they're going to win every game. On the other hand, they're hearing from the national broadcasters that we're going to lose every game, ... Somewhere in between lies the truth. If I were a gambling man, I'd be betting on our players - and I'm not a gambling man.

No one was more distraught than Ambrose after the game. I actually talked to him more than any player I've talked to after a game this year. He took it personal, like he let the team down. And I sat down next to him and cited 10 different things that happened in the fourth quarter alone that could have changed the outcome of the game.

I mean, I think this quarterback is something special. Not only is he one of their captains, but he can do it all. Look at last week: 21-for-26, 300 yards, three touchdowns. He's a very special player.

You want to talk about a matter of inches. No one was more distraught than Ambrose after that game.
