I had guys use up a year and a half of eligibility in one game.

The prognosis for recovery is great, and I just want to thank my wife, Jane, my wonderful family, my incredible friends, the amazing doctors who treated me, and especially, the Good Lord. I feel badly that I have not had the chance to talk to the players, but I want them to know that this is going to be a special year for us.

Hardy thinks they're cheering for him. I'm not going to tell him differently.

The prognosis for recovery is great.

A lot of people will be looking for an alternative. I think it will be one of the most watched games on ESPN this year.

You lose a guy like that who, even though he hasn't been 100 percent every game, has found ways to make plays most games. It was a big deal not to have him, but we're confident we'll have him Saturday.

That's how much ahead you have to work.

The prognosis for recovery is great … . I feel badly that I have not had the chance to talk to the players, but I want them to know that this is going to be a special year for us.
