Enjoy the following Rich Rodriguez quotes.
“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.”
“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 treat it as an 11-round season and our guys understand that, and if they don't, I'm going to keep preaching it because it's true. The more you win, the more that is at stake.”
“ We're obviously excited to win the outright Big East championship. Our young men have worked very hard all season to achieve this goal.”
“ We'd have to check your pulse if you don't get excited for this one.”
“ Our guys, I think they've played hungry. It's something we can hopefully continue to do. Every game we've played this year, they've played hungry and played like they want to prove themselves.”

“Pittsburgh is very good defensively. They are tough to run against. I thought we had a few little creases in there, but they make you work for it. They are tough...I thought everybody played competitively. We played hard and got some tough yards. Every yard is tough against this team.”
