Sylvester Croom Game Quotations

I looked out there in the fourth quarter and there wasn't a single player on the field who had ever played in a college football game before. I'm sure they made some mistakes, but overall they performed well.

Our kids won that game strictly on guts and heart. I've been telling them all year if they just believe, something like this will happen.

The defense has to get off the field. They did play hard and were on the field for a long time. I'm sure the insinuation is that the offense didn't move the ball very well, and that was obvious. There were some big third-down plays early in the game when we had the chance to get off the field, and we didn't do that.

As far as I am concerned they are just as good as Southern Cal last year. I don't see a weakness on their team right now even though they lost the game the other night.

He played a very, very good ball game (Saturday night). (He gave) great effort and great intensity, ... And we saw that out of him early this year, but he did not have a quality spring. He was distracted by some things off the field.

The game is not about me, ... It's about the players in the game. It's about the game. All this other stuff sells newspapers and sells ads on TV and keeps people interested, but it all comes down to the game.
