It's been a fun week. I'd like to commend the Sun Bowl. It's been an unbelievable experience for our team. Practice has been great, and our players are excited about playing. We're just anxious to get the game started. It's time to play.
If he was healthy, he would have played in the first game. We wanted to get him some experience and some snaps. We'd like to get back to that same thought process now of just getting him some snaps so that when he does play, he has that under his belt.
Just his experience alone is a big factor. He's in his third year in our offense and he knows it better than anyone.
Todd has been a part of one of the top NFL defenses over the past few years. He brings both college and NFL experience to the position. He is a great teacher and I think our defensive linemen will really develop with Todd as their coach.
I think he's a (great) football player. I think his experience on offense helps him immensely.
It is great to let our players experience a little bit of what you all do.
Jim is considered one of the top line coaches in the business. We are excited to have him return to UCLA. He has a wealth of experience at both the collegiate and professional levels and has enjoyed success throughout his career.
A bowl game is a reward for a successful season, and yes, you enjoy the experience to a certain level, but I think it comes down winning the football game. That's the lasting impression that affects what's going on for you in the following year.
