I was telling them I'd get tickets for next year, buy them and trade them to them. I told them if I get drafted, I'd give them four tickets to wherever I go.

There's nothing these coaches could have done. I don't think we came out ready to play. We spent too much time vacationing down here. In the first quarter, I played horribly. To a man, we were overconfident. When you get overconfident, sometimes you get your (butt) beat.

We've had way too many busts. They've been in different places with different people, so it's not one thing. I've done it. I've made mistakes. I don't know what's going on. I feel like we're playing hard. Maybe people just have us scouted the right way.

I might have to come out of my pocket a little bit, but for family, it's not a problem. You have to keep the family happy, so they get a chance to see my last game at Auburn.

Every day, I shoot the bus trip in the morning to practice and then in the afternoon. I get them to tell me everything that happened the night before. I also shoot the park whenever I go.

They were beating us to the edge. I can't name one team that's done that to us before. We'd have him contained and he'd just bounce away from our linebackers. I've never seen someone do that before. I saw that and said: That's a special back.

I went and got tapes because it's my last bowl and I wanted a good memory of it.

The fact that we have a chance to do something special speaks for all the guys we played with the last four years, not just us.
