I'd say now he's probably locked himself into the first round, barring anything catastrophic. I think that teams realize it's very possible that he's the best receiver in the draft.

There are probably going to be many teams and many players who are going to try and wind Wayne Rooney up. He can handle it. Everyone knows he's a great talent. It's been well documented about his discipline but I don't think there's going to be a problem.

We need leadership. Last year, we had leadership, but it probably wasn't enough. This year, we're locked in on that.

You know, there were five different teams that had it all locked up, and they all lost within the last week. And so Nebraska sort of backed in, and Oregon was the consensus No. 2, and the computer polls didn't like them, so then ended up the Fiesta Bowl. And then it was a rotten game.

It has probably become the single best man-killer, barring a nuclear weapon.

Did we execute? I don't think we executed the way we want to execute. But for the first go-round, the conditions and all, they fought and battled.
