I was expecting him to maybe do more. It doesn't shock me he tied a record. He's a beast.

We definitely think we belong up there with the elite teams in the nation if you maybe take away a few plays. That's how it goes sometimes.

We can't let him get into a rhythm ... we'll try to keep him out of whack. Troy (Smith) can be just as dangerous as Vince. To have him out there, running around in practice, shaking guys, giving us great looks, that's the best preparation in the world.

It's kind of funny. Take away two or three plays for each team, we both could be in the Rose Bowl. But it didn't work out that way. We're meant to be here, so we have to make the most of it.

I believe this is tied to a recession, maybe a mild recession, but a recession in that the amount of revenue reported by telecom suppliers and dot.com companies will be lower.

My mom is probably the only person shorter than me that I'm scared of. Still to this day. She's, like, five-two, maybe.
