They're 3-0 but we helped them become 3-0. We had a missed field goal, a missed extra point and four turnovers. There were numerous things that went wrong for us.

We shot the ball very poorly from the field. At one point, we missed open shots from the three point line.

They missed a field goal at the end that could have tied it up. That was probably the most dramatic of all the games. We won the national championship that year, so we had to have it.

He (Welch) missed an extra point, and he missed a 40-yarder early in the fourth quarter. But he connected when it counted. He hit it well, right down the middle.

[Extra points Sherman said he was pleased with rookie Terrence Murphy on kickoff returns (27.0-yard average on two returns) and might give him the job permanently. Sherman also said defensive lineman Kenny Peterson might deserve more playing time. ... Sherman said in watching film and the TV copy of Sunday's game he still wasn't sure if Murphy caught a third-and-8 pass just before Ryan Longwell missed a 42-yard field goal midway through the third quarter. The pass was ruled incomplete, but while Sherman said he still would have kicked the field goal on fourth-and-1, the additional 7 yards might have made a difference because Longwell narrowly hooked the kick wide left.] I didn't think it was worth a challenge, didn't have enough information to take a chance on it, ... It (was) a makeable field goal where we were.

I guess the Lord forgot about the field-goal team.
