Darius Walker Quotations

It definitely is a little strange to have to play against someone who recruited me. The main thing is I'm trying not to focus on that too much, about playing against him and playing against old coaches. We're going against Washington.

That kind of posed a little bit of a problem as far as the running game was concerned.

Hopefully, he'll be rooting for us. We'd rather have him on our side.

Our goal is to reverse that 31. Have us win by 31.

You can tell the get-nasty attitude in the way you walk, the way you talk, how you feel about yourself. Maybe it's a little bit of a New Jersey-type deal with Coach Weis being from New Jersey.

We feel we can play with anyone. We try not to base too much ... on the luck of the Irish. We just try to go out there and get it for ourselves.

I guess that sort of put a stamp on my decision.

We in turn have to make sure that we're up for that challenge, because there's going to be a lot of contact - hard contact - all the time.

It's incredible. This is the reason players pick a school like Notre Dame: Because we get the opportunity to play these kinds of teams.

We were not surprised with what happened tonight because we were very well prepared.
