To have been named an All-American by the coaches, people who know the ins and outs of the game, that's a great feeling. I worked so hard for four years, and to be recognized like this, it's incredible.
This was a real gut-check for us. After last week, we couldn't lose this game. Nobody tried to do too much, we played our best.
They had all this hype, 11 defensive starters returning this year, and all their papers said they had the best defensive backs in the land. So now I guess we have the best D-backs in the land.
Last week was a gut check, and there's no way we were going to feel that way again this week. I'd cut off my left pinky -- it's already broken anyway -- not to lose this game.
