“I always tell people we're going to win it by a field goal. Even though they may not want it to be that close, I just think that's the mentality you have to have, as far as being a catalyst and pulling through.”
“Even though it hasn't happened yet, it's still something that I do over and over in my mind. Just because I know it's going to happen one of these days.”
“They really don't matter, if my goal is to kick it in the end zone or get really good hang-time. If I get good hang-time, I know the kickoff unit is going to get down there in time to be able to close them in and pin them back. It's going to be the biggest challenge we've had so far, and probably the biggest challenge we'll have all year. But as far as approaching it differently than other games, no. Schemes are the same, attitudes are the same. It's guys sticking to their assignments, not breaking down or having mental errors and that's basically it.”
“I could sense it on the sidelines. After the game, I just kind of stood there and soaked it all in instead of taking part in it because that's what Iowa football felt like. That's what we've been missing the past five games.”
“I remember after that game, just having Warren catch the ball like that, it just all kind of caught up with me because I was getting so anxious and so pumped up for that moment that it all just came out. It was very emotional.”
