Randy Walker Quotations

McCarran continues not only to welcome but also to aggressively seek such new air carriers to help provide the airlift that is so vital to our community. As such, we are pleased to learn that Virgin America -- a well-funded new airline with an experienced professional management team -- may be interested in serving Las Vegas.

I would expect their return. But there are some things they have to do and some things outside my jurisdiction.

We made some big plays, created some turnovers and created some opportunities.

I think, in a lot of ways, the programs are similar. I think they had a better season than we had overall. But you've got two football teams that have come from behind and found ways to win and did some extraordinary things in difficult circumstances.

We didn't do anything different (on defense). We continue to try to work and enhance our pass rush. I think we've improved there. We got on top of some balls that got away from Drew and we made some plays on them.

You have to cover. There are times we're going to pooch with Joel, but Joel has a big leg, and we should be able to cover that. I'm not going to continue to give guys the ball at the 30.

We need to discover who we are, get closer to what Northwestern needs to be this year.

Fifty points looks bad, but we've been in that kind of game all year long. And we were in that game again today.

We've been rated pretty low before, and I don't get caught up in them. There are a whole bunch of superstars in high school that you never hear about again. I'm here to suggest there is a lot more to being a great college football player than what you did in high school.

We just need to get one more point than them. Heck, if it's 7-6 and we win, I'm happy with that.

I've made clear my commitment to Northwestern. I'm not a 1-800 guy, calling everybody. Does everybody have a price? Sure. But there's a value in the kind of kids I get to coach, the institution I represent, where I live. I don't know if there's a better job.

The most important thing a quarterback can do is walk in the huddle and make 10 guys better. He makes more than 10 guys better.

They have so many weapons, ... You could hand us their playbook and it wouldn't help.

It was one of those days. You can be a quarterback or a kicker or a major-league pitcher. Those are guys that just have bad days.

I just didn't think we were rushing the ball as well as we could have. UCLA seemed to have made a lot of good adjustments against our running game.

I don't know if we've ever had a game quite like this one. Even though we had scored a lot of points, our offense hadn't really been on the field and our defense had been on the field the whole time. And they did a great job of reversing the momentum.
