Rick Upchurch Quotations

Oh, yeah, absolutely. No doubt about it, man. That's special stuff. That's special stuff to be able to go out and play with a great ballplayer - not just a good ballplayer, but a great ballplayer.

First game out of the box, man, and let me tell you, I was running scared. I got my helmet cracked the first time I touched that thing (the ball). Man, it got beat up a little bit. That gives you inspiration to go out there and not make too many mistakes.

The Steelers were aware of his reputation, and they were after him like a dog after a bone. That (the catch) took a lot of pressure off him.

I tried to be as unselfish as I possibly could and to get in where I fit in as a piece of that puzzle and help that picture to be a good one. That's the way I played the game, that's the way I was taught, and that's the way I'm going to teach this football team with these kids.
