They find ways to stay in ballgames and it would be something special for these guys if they could get in (to the playoffs).

We got all the guys committed and we got the jelly doughnut in Corey Peters.

What's special is the great tradition in our program. To be in the same fraternity as Dave Gunther - and surpass him - is simply great.

This is an experiment in many ways.

We really figured out where we were as a team coming after the CM game. Our special teams were solid and we had two great kickoff returns. Defensively we played well against some quality athletes. And they were as big a team as we're going to see.

For coaches to stay that long is incredible. That's what's made it so special for my dad.
