Barry Alvarez Win Quotations

When we win big games, our running backs play well.

Many times it's the teams that stay the most focused that win the games. There's a lot of potential to be distracted.

Hayden came back and said, 'Listen, I just listened to all of those guys and if we're just sound in everything we do, if we're sound on offense, we're sound on defense and we're sound in the kicking game, we'll win at least four (Big Ten) games,'

When we win big games, our running backs play well. This one happens to be the most talented of the ones that we had.

We didn't play particularly well and still had a chance to win both of those games. They're very athletic (teams) and they do have a lot of speed, but we're not a bunch of slugs in this league.

We've had MVPs of three Rose Bowls and they're all running backs. When we win big games, our running backs play well. This one happens to be the most talented one that we've had.

I've been in some crazy shootouts, but never one like that. This is as good of a win as I've had.

The offense battled, kept us in games two weeks in a row. To be rewarded the way we did and sneak out of here with a win is pretty good for these guys.

I guess when the water hit me at the end, it kind of sunk in, that's it. Get a chance to cherish a great win with a lot of friends and great players, that's special. I couldn't think of a better way to go out.

I can remember through the '80s, no one in the Big Ten could out to the West Coast and win and then in the '90s, they couldn't beat us. It's cyclical. It's a swing in momentum in conferences.

I don't mean to be short, but we have dealt with this all year. I guess it was when the water hit me on the back when the game was over. That's it. There is nothing like seeing a quarterback take a knee. I love that play. That's my favorite play in football when John takes a knee. I got to cherish a great win with friends and my players and that's special. I couldn't find a better way to go out.
