"I think as we get going I think it's important to understand that no one, and I mean no one wants to win more than I do. And I think it's really important to understand that we as a staff, and as a program, and as a team, hate to lose. And it's important to know that it destroys us emotionally to go through what we did the last week. It hurts us. We're disappointed, but nonetheless we've got to move on and we got to move on in a hurry."
Callahan said "we feel an obligation to this state. We feel when we lose, the fans expect so much from us, and we felt that we let them down. And we want our fans to understand what we're going through. We hurt as a football team, and it hurts us greatly when we lose in the fashion that we did the other night. I just want that to be said so people understand that there is passion in this program. There is a strong conviction and belief in what we're doing. There's a belief in what this program stands for. That's why I came here. I love this place. I love our team. And I love the opportunity to coach here."
