What I like about the film (Juno) is that it tackles an issue that we often treat as this really heavy, dark event and we look at it with a different perspective. She`s extremely independent.

I`ve been targeting this game for Matt. It`s a horses-for-courses selection. He`s got great experience and an ability to control the forwards. Against France we`ve got to be right in their faces. They have a powerful pack that can be dominant if you let them play. If you let your concentration drop, or miss one-on-one tackles, they can carve you up. So we`ve got to be astute and squeeze the life from them. We`ve got to stop the band playing and get the crowd whistling.

The quarterback was Condredge Holloway part of the time, but Randy Wallace and Pat Ryan also played. Larry Seivers was my roommate. He was a two-time All-America (receiver) while I was there. Stanley Morgan was a tailback and wingback from South Carolina. He ran back kickoffs. He was a great football player. The first day I saw him I said, `oh,` because I was a cornerback and would have to defend him in practice. He could play today. Andy Spiva still holds the record for the most tackles in a career.

- David Parsons

(Jones is) the best tackle in the game, hands down. A lot of offensive tackles are good at one thing, like pass protection.
