Tyrone Willingham Whether Quotations

I am keeping J.R. very close. I like a lot of things that he is doing. I am still wrestling with the decision of whether to activate him.

I think we have a good relationship that is based on the right principles. But at the same time, it's still a very competitive relationship, whether it's golf or football.

That is something that every Pac-10 team should start with, whether you are the last-place team or the first-place team. That's why you are in the conference ù to get to that pinnacle. We'd like to be one of those teams, so this is an important game. And by its place on the schedule, if you can win it, then you are sitting there alone for a little while.

Any time that you can have that me-against-the-world attitude and sometimes when you travel that's the attitude that you develop, because you're on the plane and it's just you and your teammates, you walk into the stadium, and there's not a lot of help around what you're creating really is a focus. And any time you can get your team really to focus on that game your chances go up that things go well for you. That's whether home or away, but usually at home there are more distractions.

in terms of our coaching staff, we can only worry about what we have. We have got to make them the best players that they can be. I don't want to get into a discussion about whether we have talent or whether we don't.
