Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

I ain't never had much fun. I ain't never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.

If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.

We can't have two standards, one set for the dedicated young men who want to do something ambitious and one set for those who don't.

I didn't care if we ever quit practicing. I loved it. The only other guy I ever knew who loved it as much was Jerry Duncan. He would beg to practice even when he was hurt. I've actually seen him cry because the trainer told him he couldn't scrimmage.

If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.

Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
