Soil gets saturated and loses it’s structure and when the wind gusts come; basically, the soil can’t hold up the tree.

You have to give credit to the offense. They’re holding the ball like that and the defense stays fresh.

A child is a quicksilver fountain / spilling over with tomorrows and tomorrows / and that is why / she is richer than you and I.

It’s a pretty neat milestone for him.

keep it in perspective and tend to their knitting. The same people patting you on the back were kicking you in the butt not too long ago.

I’ve never been around a football player like him. He’ll be on the sideline, and he’ll say to me, ‘May I ask you a question?’ And then he’ll cross that sideline, and he’s completely different....

The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you.

He’s not running as well as he used to. Unless it’s after an official.

Our bye week doesn’t come until week 10. If we survive that long with all the injuries coming our way.

He said, ‘Here, you earned it,’

I was sad and I was disappointed, … I was shocked. We knew that the trial was coming to a close and I called in leaders from the police department and from the community to...

The personality of this group is it’s a hardworking, blue-collar defense. It’s as hard a working group that I’ve been around.

They really went on a mission to accomplish something special this year, and they really worked. You can sense something during the winter program, spring practice, the way they trained.

I don’t know why they’re criticized. They’re averaging 30 points a game and almost 400 yards.

You’re always running scared,

Never. Never a day goes by when he’s satisfied. He’s trying to play the perfect football game. He’ll never get that, but that’s what he’s trying for.

He’s a heck of a decision-maker. He’s much more comfortable back there now that he’s doing his reads. He’s smoother. … He’s making the right decisions, getting the ball where he wants to get to....

Never give up. Keep your thoughts and your mind always on the goal.

Fabian is the only one I saw pitch last season. He pitched well against us in a couple games. Control problems got after him a couple other times. He needs to work on keeping his...

Like this play with Anwar. I’m sure Ohio State is looking at that.

People cut themselves off from their ties of the old life when they come to Los Angeles. They are looking for a place where they can be free, where they can do things they couldn’t...

We’re not too concerned about it.

Who bravely dares must sometimes risk a fall.

In essence, we gave them a free ride for all of 2005 and asked them to come up with a plan to cover the cost of the building. We did not buy the property with...

Now against a big physical group like [the Minnesota offensive line], they wear you down. But today we had a lot left in our tank at the end of the game.

He’s a very versatile guy. We use him all over the place. He wears a lot of different hats for us in that secondary.

I’m flattered by the offers that I’ve had. It’s really nice that people think that highly of you.

When you travel, people don’t realize that you can only carry so many guys. He gives us an extra guy at a lot of different spots. He could go in and even play corner if...

He’s one of the bigger corners we’ve had.

He was relentless today. He was coming off that edge and getting some great jumps, wasn’t he?

I’ll be collecting my Social Security, and Coach will still be out there coaching. I told him he had to be out before he hit 100.

Selfishly, I’d love to have him back. It’s been a long time since I’ve been around a kid like him. Whatever it is, he’s got it.

He has a real knack for coming up with balls. He’s picked off some passes and he’s excellent at reading quarterbacks. A lot of that is instinctive, but he’s gotten better over time. He’s a...

Obviously, we’re going to have to move some personnel around and make some adjustments.

It’s good sometimes when you can say, ‘Let’s keep it going,’ … But I think they could use a little bit of time to gather themselves and get ready to play Michigan State.

He’s fun to play behind because he’s around the plate, kind of what our philosophy is throwing strikes, forcing contact. He’s not going to lose command. They hit a couple balls that found a hole...

Alan is such a hard worker and he?s so deter-mined. He has a goal, he has a purpose.

he was a man who actually could have changed the course of American history.

They might be the best team in the history of football, but not today.

I think everybody believed in what we were doing and where we were headed, … We still felt we had a pretty good future at Penn State. It’s a very hard place to leave.

Wednesday, we were going really hard against [the offense]. And we couldn’t stop him.

I think the highlight of my entire political career was the Olympic Games experience in 1984. First of all, it was very difficult to get the games; I had opposition from politicians and from the...

I’m going to miss him when he’s gone. Actually, I told him that in a sentimental moment. I probably shouldn’t have done that. He’ll think I’m getting soft on him.

Sometimes I don’t even know what coverage we’re in. But it worked.

A loving, caring teacher took a liking to me. She noticed the potential and wanted to help shape it.

I am prepared to pass the torch to new leadership,

He was flying. Even on film, you almost had to slow it down.

One play made the difference.
