Don't let failure get you down. Babe Ruth struck out over 1,300 times.
I said they were capable of it. I didn't say they were going to do it.
The alumni buried me every week. The plots have a view of the dome. It's a better view if you're standing up than if you're laying down.
The ability of a defense to dominate and stop the run forces you into a one-dimensional game. You come out wanting to play ball control, field position, but by the second quarter, you're down by 17 and you're forced to throw.
Knowing Bill Snyder and the disciplinarian he is and the approach he has, yeah, I think he will bounce back, ... And he doesn't have to be real good to be pretty good in that North.
I was impressed with the facilities, the stadium,
I am sorry that any rules were violated and I apologize for any embarrassment in my six years at USC, ... We tried to operate not only according to the letter of the law but the spirit of the law as well.

You get in that traditional punt formation and you spend hours trying to pick this up and that up. We didn't spend one-fifteenth that time in our spread-punt formation.
This Southern Cal team is capable of it, too. But I don't think they will. I just think Notre Dame really has a good shot at them.
