They tested him every week. And he was always up for the challenge. It was like that with him from Day One here, and everybody here knew he was going to be a great player just from his confidence and competitiveness.

McFadden, he's got the ability to take it to the house every time he touches it. He's a 4.3 guy. He can really, really move. I was watching Alabama. He took it 70 yards. Alabama was hitting him, hitting him, hitting; next thing you know, he's going 70 yards down the field. They trade a lot of backs so they can keep fresh and keep pounding you.

We pride ourselves on stopping the ball. They've got a lot of pride in running the ball. They'll run the ball on third-and-7. It doesn't matter how many guys you've got in the box, they're going to try you. Their whole thing is 'We're tougher than you.' It's going to be one of those games we've got to bring our hard hat.

If you watched us out there, it was like 12 men flying to the ball, only we have 11.

We weren't doing anything different from last year. The defenses that were called were good enough to beat the offenses that were called, but there would be 10 guys doing it right and one guy doing it wrong. It's disappointing, but I've said all along that talent doesn't mean you are good. You have to have 11 guys playing together.

It's frustrating. We beat ourselves. That's basically what happened. It's been awhile since we lost, but we are taking the same approach we took last year: Let the last game go and get ready for the next one.

It was great to see the guys fly around and show that they were focused on Wisconsin after the break.

We've been focused on Wisconsin. It's just great to get to Orlando and get great weather.

I was telling them that the game is not over. They showed the desire not to give up.

Decision-making. And we had defensive lapses that gave them shots to get back in it.
