We're certainly in position to be a good defensive football team, ... Offensively, we have to be better. We have to make big plays.

The only thing I have control over, ... is to try to get our football team to play as well as it can play, and have them realize they are playing against a team which has talent, coaching and tradition. And we are on the road before 110,000 people. Unless you're stupid, you've got to understand that.

When a kid plays football games before he attends a class, something is wrong.

Here, I have an opportunity to affect the lives of a lot of young people - and not just on my football team. I'm not kidding myself that that would be true at the professional level.

When people write about what college football is all about they should write about Michael Robinson. He's everything that's good about the game.

I think they did well, showed a lot of poise, but are going to have to do a lot more if we are going to be really good. Hopefully, we can do a little bit more this week, a little bit more the following week and a little bit more the following week.
