Brett and Russell had a great game against UCLA. They've put themselves in this position. They're too good to keep off the field. |
It's like fine-tuning a car. When you want the car to go a little faster, you tune it up so it revs a little higher. We just have to get everybody on the same page (against Air Force). If one person breaks down, then those guys are out the gate. |
That's the luck of the game. That's something you can't prepare for. In the end, we lose as a team. |
This is a great (defensive) system. This is a defense that is going to squeeze and constrict. It doesn't matter who you put (at middle linebacker). They're still going to make plays. |
What Kirk did may have been a surprise to some people, but it wasn't a surprise to me. A lot of people talk about how you can't do this or you can't do that, and I'll listen to it if it's coming from a football coach. If it's somebody in the media, I'm not going to pay a lot of attention to it. |
