The fans need to understand, ... that a lot of the good players we started the season with are not on our team right now and we're going with more inexperienced players. |
The first game we had a chance to win and we rebounded and fought back, but we didn't get any reward (in a loss to Louisville). Then we fought back in our last game (against Idaho State) and won. Now we have even more players sidelined. Now we'll really see how we deal with adversity, because this is a chance to prove we really are a different team this year. |
The last play was not a great call, but we wanted him to get that opportunity to catch the ball. In another four to five days, that pass will be incomplete because Ravi will go up and knock it away. He has the ability to help this team. We'll just see how it all shakes out. |
The last six years I was (at Oregon), we were a very good football team, and since then they have only had one losing season, ... The continuity there is what turned Oregon into a consistent winner. It was nice to see that and reaffirm that we actually did know what we were doing. We did have a plan that worked and were given the time to implement that. |

The learning curve is going to be fast. |
The momentum will really get going when we start winning games. I think we've turned the corner, but we've got to get to the straightaway and accelerate. |
The offense needs leadership. The quarterbacks have to take responsibility in that area. |
The passing game is suffering because we're not getting the play we need from the receivers. |
There are some rumors out there that I'm going to resign at some point, ... Well, that ain't happening, OK? I'm not going to walk out on the players that I recruited and this program that I'm trying to turn around. |
There have been rampant rumors that I will resign, |
There have been rampant rumors that I will resign. That ain't happening. I am not going to walk out on the players or the program. We are trying to turn this thing around. Some people don't understand what you have to do to turn a program around. |
There's no way we could have (practiced) on that a year ago, ... We'd have been sliding and standing in water. |
They (the replay officials) probably did look at it and determine there was no sense reviewing it any further. The ball did appear to be clearly out before he hit the ground. |
They do a good job with the quarterback run game and with the option, ... Somebody once told me that you couldn't win in the SEC with the option, but doggone it, somebody's doing it and they're doing it pretty well. |
