Lee Corso Quotations

Wait'll you see Notre Dame, ... These guys are good.

Of course the problem is, if you're Texas, can you get them to punt the ball?

No. Offensively, these guys are really good. I saw 'em at Pittsburgh and they demoralized those guys. You thought Cal was good, and they put up 56 there? Hello?

If Texas can hang on and get into the fourth quarter and wear them out, they could beat Ohio State, ... I picked Ohio State to play for the national championship, but I love Texas, too.

Larry Coker doesn't have the talent to win the national title. They have great depth on defense and a good kicking game, but I don't see a major-league running back.

I said it three or four times during the season. They were the most complete football team in the nation. They were better all-around than Southern Cal. I didn't care how many points Southern Cal averaged.

Tyrone Willingham will do a tremendous job, ... He will represent the school the way it should be represented. Washington is not a good job right now, it's a lousy job. He wouldn't be there if it was a good job. He could build that into a good program. He can do it, and he'll do it the right way.

The program slipped after he left, but Coach Nugent was the one who first showed everyone what could be done at Florida State.

When you look at naming the father of Florida State football, it should be Tom Nugent, and I say that without any disrespect for Coach (Bobby) Bowden. In his thinking as a coach, Tom Nugent was ahead of his time, and I mean light years ahead of everybody.

You got Mel in the game? How'd you get his hair to fit on the screen?

There's no way Washington can beat Notre Dame, ... No matter how good a guy Tyrone Willingham is, no matter how hard his guys are going to play for him.

Texas is the most complete football team I've seen in the nation this year. They have every chance in the world to beat USC.

Tell them to get over it. That's the rules everybody plays by. They shouldn't be complaining about that. Bowden didn't make them up. Paterno didn't make them up. But somebody made them up.

They smacked that Oklahoma team (for the national title) in what was the single most impressive one-game performance I've ever seen.

It's become an event. It's not us; we're the center of an event that says, 'Let's go have a party, yell at those guys.' It's become an event, which is very nice.

I didn't think that was in the style of Notre Dame. Notre Dame was different than everybody else. They had never fired a coach prior to completing a contract. I thought Notre Dame was above and beyond that stuff.

If he could win eight games a year ... he'd be a miracle worker. If he can get into a BCS bowl game ... that'd be magnificent.

I wouldn't want to play LSU right now even if I were the Indianapolis Colts.

Hawaii doesn't win many games in the United States.

The true test of a person's character is how they treat the people in life that they don't need.
