Pete Carroll Point Quotations

Right now with its first initial announcement it's just a starting point for finishing the season and where you wind up is most important.

We've done everything we can do to this point, we've done it with a little flair, and a little bit of drama along the way. This game was an exclamation point for this 12-game run.

Dr. Watkins made the point that he had to do it once he got in and saw what was going on. It would've been a mistake to try to just tough it out and wait through it.

We've grown to the point where we need these kind of challenges. It keeps us strong.

I'm not going to make any excuses for any part of this. I'm going to continue to take responsibility for that. I'm not going to point the finger at somebody else. I'm the one who has to continue to get this done.

The history really doesn't have anything to do with how we play, so that's not a big point for me to dwell on. But it is fun for everybody.

I totally trust our team. Our preparation has been perfect to this point. That's my job. That's what I have been doing, orchestrating every part of this to a point that mentally lets these guys fly on game day.

It's a display of respect for last year. We're proud of what we accomplished, and other people respect that. But it's what we do from this point forward that counts in 2005.
