All the teams in conference championships are tough and we have to come out with the same kind of effort and energy that we had [Saturday]. |
For whatever reason, playing here does seem to make a difference for the team. They feel more comfortable and they can kind of relax a little bit in their routine. |
Having this week off was definitely a plan in terms of really being able to focus on what we're doing as a team. |
I feel that on any given day we can beat any of them. We're going into every game thinking we can win. |
I think [the team] understands that Hawaii is going to be better prepared for us this time. |
I think conditioning will come into play. The team that goes out there and sets the pace, sets the tempo, will be the team that wins the game. |
I think it's the same type of attitude I try to instill in them and bring to coaching. Were going to put more energy into everything we do because that is what is going to make us better. |
I think that this is the place to be. It's got a lot of support, we've got great facilities, and we've got a great group to start with here. |
In the top ten you have to be on your game and there's going to be no easy matches. |
In those special situations we were not where we wanted to be. |
It gives everybody a chance to see and feel good that they were confident and this is something we can do every quarter. |
It should be a pretty tough game, but it's definitely a game that we can win. |
It was a time of the season where we had to give it a little extra boost. |
It was kind of a place where I was able, in that conference, to grow as a coach. |
It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I think that we can be top 10 in the national rankings. |
