Gene Chizik Quotations

I haven't played anything like this in so long, it wouldn't even count if I said it. This is a whole different world.

I'm not so sure you all-together stop a guy like Ginn. We can't focus efforts on one guy. We could if he was the only great player they had.

It's going to be a great challenge. ... I may do this another 20 years and never get (another) shot to do this, and they may play another 20 years and not get a shot at doing this again. ... I think it's something you hold onto for a long time.

I just know what an awesome feeling it is for him. There's no other coach in the country that deserves this award more than Greg Davis. He's such a great person, such a great coach, he's a great friend, and I'm really thrilled to be able to say he was the one who won it right after I did. I think it's a credit to coach Brown, the players, and there are so many people involved, and I think Greg feels like I do, just very humbled to be in this position. It couldn't happen to a better guy.

When you're playing a team that, in some areas, has been tagged as one of the best teams in college football history, that makes it fun.

What separates him from a lot of the good ones, and why he's a great one, is he's got the mental part of the game as well as anyone I've ever been around. He does a great job of making sure everybody is in line.

Bush has an element of power to go along with his speed. One of our concerns is over-pursuing against him so that when he cuts back, there's nobody there to stop him.

He's stepping up to the plate to be a leader. When he talks, people are going to listen.

We're hoping to contain him the best way we can. We can't focus all our efforts on one guy. We could, if they only had one guy.

Overall, I am really pleased with the play of all three linebackers. They really tried tonight to do what we've asked them to do in playing our defense.
