I've found that prayers work best when you have big players.

If the coach insists upon hard play, but clean play, the team will do likewise.

The best thing I ever learned in life was that things have to be worked for. A lot of people seem to think there is some sort of magic in making a winning football team. There isn't, but there's plenty of work.

The morning we left South Bend, every student and professor was out of bed long before breakfast and marched downtown accompanying the team to the railroad station. It was the first time I'd seen anything like this mass hysteria generated on the Notre Dame campus over a football game.

On the road we're somebody else's guests - and we play in a way that they're not going to forget we visited them.

The essence of football was blocking, tackling, and execution based on timing, rhythm and deception.

Generalities don't count and won't help you in football.
