It was worthwhile. I felt we got a lot of out it because we played against teams we've never seen before. They didn't know us. I saw some character from our team.

I have never seen two teams that played harder or played better. I did not find a team that deserved to lose.

I think (Texas) is the best all around team we have played. We have seen some good teams in the four years I have been here, but Texas is solid everywhere on the field. They are great on special teams, have a great quarterback, and one of the best offensive lines we have seen.

We all felt like this was our year. We weren't going down three times.

Our special teams played well.

It's been a very worthwhile experience, ... There hasn't been a day when I've felt this was a mission we shouldn't be involved with.
