"They (Yosemite) were rated No. 1," Ausberry said. "On our way to the championship we also beat the No. 2 team and the No. 4 rated team. We were rated No. 5."
"It feels good finally getting a ring," Ausberry said. "Everybody thought we would come in and get beat by last season's champ. We finally got healthy and when we did, we beat everybody."
"During the game it was 25 to 30 degrees," Ausberry said. "It feels great."
"I have narrowed things down to USC, Georgia and Ohio State," Ausberry said. "I'm going to let my decision known on January 7th at the US Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas."
