We felt like we wanted to go back and look at some things, and we also wanted the guys to enjoy a good weekend without having too much pressure of trying to understand where they fit right now.
We're sitting here at 19 straight wins and there is a tremendous amount of pressure on kids and coaches to keep it going. And these guys have done it now for three straight years.
He loves the fight, the come-from-behind. He loves the pressure on him. That's where I gained so much respect for him.
I thought I put entirely too much pressure on myself. We were winning, and I wasn't having fun. I don't want to act like I was depressed or miserable. But instead of worrying about what wasn't fixed, I needed to start enjoying what we'd accomplished.
There was a tremendous amount of pressure on them. Those streaks are a difficult thing. (USC coach) Pete (Carroll) has done a marvelous job of not talking about those things and continuing to win.
Hopefully that will be a play-changing experience for him. He is a guy with so much pride, he puts as much pressure on himself as I've ever seen. That's why it was such a great play.
