There is no doubt they are the best football team I've seen in 20 years. They are big, fast ... they have everything they need.

Jacoby has great strength and quickness, and I think that the broken hand is slowing him down a little. He still is playing real well. He is one of our best defensive players, and as long as he's there, we have a chance to plug it up in the inside.

They are very physical on offense and very run-oriented. They play a straight 50 defense with great athletes, who run to the ball and are real physical.

This is the first time since I've been here that we actually do not have a threat to kick a field goal. Our kicker (Joseph Cleaver) is young, just a sophomore and it's a lot of things.

Their quarterback is a good runner. He is fast as lightning, and I am real concerned about him. (Smith) is committed to Ohio State, and I watched him mash people on the two (game films). They are not devoid of talent in any place.

We're looking forward to it, but I don't know if we're looking forward to playing them.

I think (the game) is a good idea. There's good football everywhere.

We are trying to guard against being too laid back. I don't think they are going to be. We are fixing to play a real good football team. It's going to be tough for us, I can tell you that.

Our kids have taken them in and really accepted them.
