H. Hart Bowl Quotations

It shouldn't be, necessarily, but I will admit when (the media) are not asking you all the Super Bowl questions because they don't really expect you to get there, then you don't think about it.

Never. I said that last year. Once you lose it's over, it's done. It's not going to make you feel any better to win this year. Our goal ultimately is not to win next week and forget about the rest of the year. It's to go to the Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl. They're just the next step.

We'll make it be known that it's time to focus and pay attention to details. Alan usually says something in the huddle and makes sure everybody understands what we need to do. When you hear things from a five-time Pro Bowler like Alan, you listen.

We had a chance to make history, and that motivated me a little more. You can make history by going 16-0 and winning the Super Bowl and we did the opposite. We made history by winning as a sixth seed.

Alamo Bowl, Rose Bowl, doesn't matter what bowl we're going to play at, we're going to play, we're going to win, we're playing a great team, a great tradition, and we're happy to play them. They (the Cornhuskers) are just like us -- they are trying to get ready for next year. And this game is going to decide that. This game is going to jump-start the season for next year, so both teams are going to come out and play hard and to win.

We all knew it was bowl game or bust. As seniors, it was our goal.
