It was a tough game against a tough team. They ran the ball down our throat and somehow we found a way to win the football game.

I think about Mom and how she'd keep us entertained with her sense of humor during Dad's deployments in Vietnam. Whatever came her way, she had a joyous spirit.

There are only a few teams in the league that win those championships. We're not the only ones that don't win them. There's only a few and everybody is trying to catch those guys.

It might have hurt us in recruiting that first year. A lot of schools were using it against us, saying we didn't have an athletic department, saying we were going to intramurals.

I'm tired of talking about what might have been. We've got to seize those moments or potential moments and play as well as we can. If we play as well as we can and Georgia still beats us, you can live with that. When you drop balls and don't do the things you're capable of doing, that's what is frustrating.

We ran the ball well at times, ... Obviously, we threw the ball extremely well. If we can continue to do that and get a little more balance, I'll be very, very pleased.
