The elite is sitting up there with no losses, ... Then you got the good guys. We just got thrown down with the good guys. Now we just got to win games and go from there.

No animosity. No animosity. I mean that.

It's really not open. Those guys are battling for No.2.

Tonight, the No. 1 team in the nation is playing the No. 2 team in the nation. The next best team is Penn State. So we ain't playing a dad-gum nobody. We're playing Penn State, No. 3 in the nation. Now if we can hang with those guys, maybe we've got the material to get back on up there where we belong.

The one thing that concerns me the most -- other than that they are good -- is that they are a mature football team.

If somebody mistreats you, treat ’em good. That kills ’em.
