After the Cougars' 19-15 Cotton Bowl victory over Kansas State We're the only team in NCAA history to win 14 games in a season. It was just a great experience and I can't say enough about it.... People don't know how difficult it is to get up for 15 games.
More Quotes from LaVell Edwards:
Looking at the championship-winning quarterbacks, Edwards remembered their particular talents Gary Sheide The image of Joe Namath. He even had Joe's number. Had just a great feel and touch for the game. A great athlete who could play all the sports. He was more of a streak guy than any of them. He could miss two or three passes and then get hot and hit ten straight. He was the one who got it all started.LaVell Edwards

It has been our experience that if a young man decides to go on a mission, he can not only play well when he returns, he will often play better. If an athlete could play well before he went on a mission, he will definitely play well when he returns and, if an athlete could not play well before his mission, he probably wont play well when he returns. However, his chances of playing well are perhaps better if he goes because he will return with ... better work habits, and a better knowledge of what it takes to be successful.

At that time we didn't really have the talent to be able to line up and compete with many teams. Stanford had recently had some success throwing the ball with Jim Plunkett (1970 Heisman Trophy winner) at quarterback. I figured with most defenses built to focus on stopping the run, we would try and pass the ball. Once we became successful and began to recruit better players, I just decided to stick with the offense.
