Related Topics: 1996 Rose Bowl

  • Fitzgerald said seeing his teammates — the 1996 Rose Bowl team was honored at halftime — was “really something spectacular and something special.”
  • “I thought we started the game the right way... But obviously lost momentum in the second time and had to respond a bunch of times.”
  • Fitzgerald gave a “much improved” Indiana credit: “That was a physical battle.”
  • Fitzgerald said the biggest difference was “the way we prepared.” Given the injuries in training camp, he had to adapt his coaching strategies and be more intense in practices, especially after the two losses.
