""Their coach rants and raves on the sideline and calls the referee some names you don't want to hear. And now we get 6 to 0, and I got a kid with a ripped jersey, and they go, 'I didn't see it.' Come on, man. It's for a national championship.""
""I have no idea. But I'm gonna let you know this, I'm of integrity. I'm of integrity. So if I did something wrong, to Geno, I had no idea what I did.""
