We better go into a game wanting to get Teddy and Santonio the ball,

I'm not going to lie. We're anxious to be a part of a matchup like that. It's two states that love the game of football.

As you know, we had a heck of a ball game with Michigan State, ... John L. (Smith) and his staff did a great job. The lead changed hands often in that game, two teams playing extremely hard, and like we face each week in the Big Ten, it was a battle down until the end. I'm real proud of the way our kids continued to play. We fell behind (but) we kept going after it and I'm very proud of them.

Our punt return game, those guys have done a great job up front, plus Tone (Holmes) and Teddy (Ginn Jr.) back in the back. Somebody told me (the Aztecs) had nine three-and-outs. When they're starting with the ball on their 11 and they're having a three-and-out, and our punt-returners are catching the ball around midfield, that's huge for the offense.

Probably in the middle of the fourth quarter _ I'm not going to lie, ... You know, we're anxious to be a part of a matchup like that. Shoot, we can't wait. I'm sure they're the same.
