We're actually loose, ... I'll have to let that go. |
We're bringing some (prospective recruits from Ohio) out this year, and we're going to do that every year. |
We're going to be spending time on fundamentals and techniques because we can't worry about who we're playing if we play like that. |
We're going to have to beat BYU this week to see if we can't get in the mix, |
We're going to spend a great, great deal of time on USC this week. |
We're going to spend a large amount of time with a veteran secondary working on communication. There are too many times where we had communication problems, and it's going to be an area we emphasize this spring. |

We've been good against the run, ... But this is a multidimensional attack. |
We've practiced both him and Mo (Stovall) back there. So, at times, we might even put both of them back there. When you've got two guys that are 6-5 and jump and have good hands, they are good choices. |
Well, ... I just told them, with a few words added for emphasis, that it was the night before a big game, and all the families are here, and let's make sure we worry about the game. OK? |
Well, how have we done here? |
Well, we felt we needed a steady runner to complement Darius' style of running. He knew he'd be included into the mix. |
Well, we were protecting with eight when we hit that crossing route to David Patten (43 yards), |
