Matthew Rice Quotations

Basically my team started the day trying to defend the leader's jersey, but like the day before, an opportunity to win the stage presented itself.

He has nowhere else to go. If all four of us are working on all cylinders, there's nowhere for the quarterback to go.

Out there it was like a Rocky movie, man. It wasn't nothing fancy, nothing out there to make you feel good about yourself. It was just straight work.

That was the most physical game we played all year. It was straight all-out will.

We do need to concentrate on tackling. We are not where we want to be but we are at a good point right now.

Unlike a lot of teams, they bring a lot to the table. They run a lot of different types of offense. Some teams just run a spread offense, some just want to run the ball. They do a little bit of everything. It's going to be a big challenge for us.

I've seen it on TV. I read it in papers. I heard it from just people, professors, everybody. 'Do you think Joe should retire? You think Joe still has it? You think the water's a little bit above his head?' I hear nobody saying that now.

It's not one guy getting more praise than another. That mentality keeps the defense together.
