He's a great player. He's been a winner from the day he got here. The guys know that. They can sense it. It carries over with his competitiveness. The guys are watching, and I think Carl enjoys it. He relishes it. He's proud of what he's done here, and he should be.
At this point, we're obviously disappointed. We put ourselves in a good position at the end of the game but we came up a little short. I'm so proud of how we battled. We got better this week.
I told him it's over. We're moving on. We missed it, and no one feels worse than he does. He's going to do what he's done for everything else this year. I'm very proud of him. He's handled things well.
I'm especially proud of the way we battled back and put ourselves in good position. This was a good week for us. We got better and we'll build on this.
He's definitely gotten better. I don't think anyone predicted he would be all-conference. He's improved, worked hard. He'll work. That's the biggest thing and that's going to carry him a long way. I'm proud of him. And I'm proud of Carl and Sam for the honors they received.
It's something that's been said about us. I sometimes used to get away from it but now we embrace it. Teams often talk about us playing like the Steelers, or as a football team at different times. Now we look at it as a good thing and we're proud of it.
It's something we're proud of. Our fans, our students, the Oakland Zoo, they've been a big part of our success. Our students are right on top of you. It's something we did four years ago when we built the building. It's a good situation.
I'll be very proud of that. That one means a lot. That's one of the things we sell in our recruiting. We talk about the university, about the City of Pittsburgh, about graduating and about getting better. We have concrete proof that kids get better here.
