It’s a huge challenge for us. They all have experience, they all have played numerous games. They’re smart. They know their schemes. They’re solid. They don’t make mistakes. We look at that as a challenge.

That was a low point for us. We had to either go up or down from there. We responded to that. Where we are now, our starting point was really that game. We just grew...

For them, it’s got to be even more special. It’s their first BCS game in quite some time. The stakes on it are huge.

When Oklahoma shut him down in the run, they made him one-dimensional and really made it tough on him. It’s our job to shut down the run and make him throw it.

It was huge. It propelled you right through the second half.

It’s amazing. People get to see you without your helmet on, and it makes them so happy.

You don’t take things for granted as much as you used to. To be with those seniors … it means a little more to think where you’ve been and how bad it really got, you...

It all just comes down to toughness and execution. I think we did a good job of that in the second half.

You could definitely tell he was getting frustrated. He was yelling at his receivers, yelling at his lineman.

I definitely felt like we were getting after them. It seemed like we were hitting that guy a lot. He was having a tough time getting time to pass it.

He’s tweaking things here and there. You really can’t change the way you’ve ran for the last 20-something years. He does a good job switching things up. Something real subtle can make a big difference....

We walked in yesterday and there are signs up all over in the locker room about the rivalry game and what it means and the tradition about it. It puts it front and center. You...

They had that great passing game and now they’ve got a great back to pick up yards for them, so it’s kind of like that two-headed snake. You’ve got to be real careful.

That’s where I kind of excel. I did a good job on the field. I need to go here and kind of hype the deal. I’m excited.

What [good offenses] all have is their ability to create big plays. Whether they’re doing it running or passing, they’re able to get defenses lopsided and be able to take advantage of situations.

You have eight weeks to get ready instead of eight months. But they make it easier. It’s a give and take with them. It’s a great blend and things are working out perfectly.

I thought I had it, but right after the guy from Denver said you tied it. I had 46 right there, but I couldn’t quite get that last inch up.

It changed me forever. It’s something that will stick with you. But it’s nice to be back.

We were all chasing after him. I didn’t know what Ashton was going to do. I know he started locking up there a little bit.

Anything over 45 is pretty much what I?m shooting for.

It’s like two years ago. We lost two games but still won the Fiesta Bowl. It’s been a great four-year career. You’ve seen a little bit of everything.

His passing is his backup. They definitely use the run to set up stuff … We have to stay in the same space and keep him in that pocket. We want a nice cup around...

I had 46 right there. I just couldn’t get that last inch on my right arm. It just kind of gave way. But I was very happy with that performance.

It wasn’t a pretty picture at all, but I always felt like I could do whatever it took to recover and get back to playing football. I don’t remember everything from the worst of it,...

Vince Young is definitely the heartbeat of that team. You’ve definitely got to contain him and you’ve almost got to make them one-dimensional and make them throw the ball on every down.

Forty-five is a pretty consistent number for me. It’s neat to be on a stage like this and take advantage of the opportunity. Just going in there and showcasing myself to the scouts, I was...

I didn’t know if I would ever be 100 percent, or be able to play like I used to be able to, but I just kept real positive. At the beginning stages, I had lost...

He (Powers) was just finishing throwing and I felt I was within one step. I probably should have laid off of him.

Working with coach Johnson and those guys, when it came time to change things up to get ready for the combine, they were able to make a program that fit my lifestyle right away.

It’s a huge challenge for us. We know we definitely have to get pressure on [Quinn]. We may not be able to hit him every time but we just have affect him a little bit.
