Would I be surprised if Boston College jumped? Are you kidding? I think they've been waiting to be asked for a year now, if not longer.

Everybody claps. Ain't one guy who does his own thing.

I don't want to put too much pressure on one game because it is just one of 11. Our expectations are high, and our fans' expectations are high, but I don't want our players to feel any undue pressure and go into a game pressing themselves. I think that's happened in the past.

We're a little more talented now than maybe we've been the last couple years. But we've got to show it on the field.

We took the approach that we're playing an 11-round championship fight. Right now we've completed seven rounds and we're on round eight. And we also have some lessons to teach from last year when we had a chance and our destiny in our own hands. We stubbed our toe a little bit at the end.

Things looked bleak there for a long time. But our guys kept hanging in there and we got a little momentum there in the fourth quarter.

I think that's a little high. We're not playing like a top 10 team. But we're not going to complain about it.
