It was a shock to me.

I just want to win the Sugar Bowl. It's the national championship game. I guess there could be a split, but me personally, I don't really want to get involved in all of that. That's something for the fans and media to get involved with.

We didn't play Falcons football. By the time we got it together, it was too little too late. They set the tempo early and often.

You just try to go about your daily routines. But I look at it, I don't know how to say this ... It's like the story about when the tornado touches down and all these houses go down but it skips just this one. It's one of those things you don't think about.
