I hope everyone understands -- this game needed to be played. The only question was where it was going to be played. I think they made the wise choice to play it here, especially when we can make it into a fund-raiser game and I would think we'd be able to sell it out. I don't really think about the advantages or disadvantages. We're going to play a football game against a heck of a team.

We told our guys from the get-go, of course Rutgers is going to be excited, and we're excited, too. Rutgers has a lot to prove. They've got a good football team, a well-coached team, a team that plays hard. I think we have all those things, too. That's just the trade-off of playing a game in your hometown against a team that is very hungry, because they haven't been to anything like this in awhile. That doesn't diminish the fact our guys know how to compete, too.

We have to have a sense of urgency (on special teams). When we line up to punt in either of our formations, that's going to be an important play. My heart is going to be beating.

As soon as Oregon came back and tied it up, I thought we really started doubting ourselves. I could feel our players on the sideline doubting if we were going to be OK. You can't play this game that way.
