When you think about what Oregon offensively does between the running game, but really having these elite athletes on the perimeter to make plays, what, what type of matchup problems has that created so far when Oregon's really had this offense humming?

Well, uh, the, the matchups have been really tough, because you got some speed and some young guys that, that really haven't even...

So that was a new territory for us, and what a thrill to be a part of that.

He was successful when they got into the Big Ten right away.

And Oregon didn't have any facilities.

I mean, zero.

And for Roots to be able to take the players that he couldn't get and turn them into athletes that can compete in the Pac-8 and Pac-10 was remarkable.

To get to that Rose Bowl was really the turning point, I think, for this entire program, obviously.

But at the point...
