Then I talked to coach Charlie Weis and he said that he wanted to offer me. But, they want to recruit me as a wide receiver. I don't know, I'm pretty set on quarterback. It's still in the air.

We talked about it. An assistant coach suggested fouling, but I rejected it because I was afraid we'd foul them shooting and get beat that way. Hindsight couldn't have been worse than what happened to us.

[And, the best part of it for new coach Charlie Weis was seeing the look on his son Charlie's face after the game.] I look at see the big smile on his face, ... How many times do you share a moment like that with your kid. I'll thank (NBC president) Dick Ebersol for that. A couple months ago, he said, 'What are you going to do with your son?' He had just lost his (younger) son (in an airplane crash) and his advice to me was, 'If you have a rare opportunity to share special moments with him, do it.'

Charlie Weis is as good of an offensive mind as I've been around. He's the best game-day coach I've ever been around. I'm a fan of his and the way he was able to motivate the offense and help people make plays and get them to win.

I talked to Coach [Ted] Roof before the game and he was like, 'You know Mike, you don't have to be Dan Marino; you've just got to be Mike Schneider, and that's good enough for our team,'

We talked about how lackadaisical we came out last game. Coach [Willard] Coker told them they were No. 1, and I think that fired them up little bit.
