“I have a lot of strong belief in those guys in that locker room. They've handled a lot of adversity this year, from a lot of different angles. I have all the faith in the world that they'll be ready to play Sunday afternoon in Austin.”
“It's still just incredible to me that God gave me the opportunity for 24 years to be the caretaker of this program. It has been the most incredible ride you could ever imagine.”
“I can't fault anything that happened with our kids. They have been warriors and have tried to fight through some things and keep themselves alive for a while. Hopefully, the committee will reward that, and they will get to play another day.”
