They had beat some of the best teams in the country to get there.

They were playing on their home field.

Um, it wasn't a home field advantage though, because the Indiana fans really became the 12th man.

And I know Texas A&M gets kind of rubbed raw when you say that, but, but that's what it was.

It was a home field crowd for Indiana.

It was a tough game.

It wasn't a pushover and it went right down to the last minutes.

It was a good game, but I fell asleep late.

Well, you know, so many times the Heisman winner does not do good in the bowl games.

People, you know, put Target on their back and they're under a lot of pressure.

But he's come through time and time again.

And what a story.

So he's from Miami.

His dad played with the Miami coach.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, he literally just a few miles from the stadium.

Wanted to play at Miami, and they wouldn't let him walk on.

So he goes to Cal, then he goes to Indiana, and he becomes the poster child for the kid who is told, no, you don't have it.

And I've told you and I've told other athletes over the years, a coach can tell you anything they want to tell you, but the decision to take that advice is yours.

And he made a point that I'm just not going to quit.
