When you get to proverb

 When you get to this point in the year, sometimes it becomes an overlooked thing because you've been doing it all year. I know coaches most certainly will focus on that the next couple weeks and prepare for the postseason.

 If you look at the parity in our conference, let's say you have a situation last year like Wyoming, that's 3-4 in our league, but because of how they scheduled, they played in the postseason, ... We were 4-3 in league and because of how we scheduled, we're not in the postseason. Ultimately, you have to beat who you play and execute at that level. But to not address scheduling in that discussion isn't a wise thing to do. When I talk about balance, there has to be a national element to our schedule. It's what is expected at BYU and it's what the standard has been here. Last year, we played three undefeated teams (Boise State, Utah, USC). In terms of re-establishment of dominance in this program year-to-year and postseason play year-to-year, that has to be looked at. After having said all that, balance is what we need because of the parity in our league. It could be realistic that it's 5-3 to win the league. Or 6-2. What about all the teams that are 4-4? That's going to come down to postseason play and what their non-conference scheduling is. Ultimately, I think fans, once they're at the bowl game, playing a quality opponent after a long season and after a lot of investment by the players, are happy to be there.

 You go out and you try to do a little too much instead of playing within yourself and playing within the system. The thing this year is to try not to make mistakes you made last year. (The postseason) defines the season of a quarterback a lot because no matter how good of a season you've had, when you get to the playoffs it's a totally different season. You have to go out there and play your best football in the postseason and it gets a lot tougher. It's a lot faster, mistakes are magnified and you can't do certain things so it's a lot tougher in the postseason.

 It's incredible that my job has been discussed for six years. Every year it's 'Will he be there next year?' If we're in last place, you'd have a complaint. But we've been one game out of this thing for the last couple weeks. If you think about that, it doesn't make sense at all.

 [P. J. Daniels] got hurt fairly early last year and is just not the same when he's banged up. When he's healthy he really runs the ball very well. The thing people don't realize about him is he's such a great pass protector that it sometimes get overlooked because he runs for 100 yards most weeks.

 You can't diminish the importance (of postseason experience). When you get to mid-September, it's almost like the postseason. Guys who have been through that year after year have an advantage. When things go south, those players can steady the ship. I think it's got great value.

 (Johnson) was a young man who was overlooked. He had a couple four-year schools recruiting him, but he played at a higher level than those schools were. . . . I needed a two guard, but as he got going in practice, I saw his instincts were better for a point guard. He's been a blessing for us ever since.

 I think he'll go a mile and a half without a problem. I always have. Ever
since I had him as a two-year-old in the Breeders' Cup. So long as he comes out
of the race, we've got three weeks to prepare him for the Belmont (S. [G1]). My
plans at this point are to go forward to the Belmont.

 Anybody who's on their walk year -- players, coaches, myself included -- knows that stuff is for another day. The only focus right now is getting the job done this year; 2006 is for another day.

 Wherever we're at, we're at. At this time of year, we just need to focus on what we need to do to prepare ourselves for this tournament. That's what we've done best the past three days. Just focus on ourselves.

 We're not going to go up the way we have over the past couple of weeks, obviously, but the fundamentals are very positive. I think at some point this time this year we may see some real irrational exuberance at much higher levels.

 That's happened to some teams this year, too. Texas was ranked No. 2, and they lost to Tennessee. But we just need to focus on what we need to focus on. We know that every game we play, whoever we play, they have a chance to beat us, especially from this point on in the year.

 A lot of guys have been playing with injuries throughout the year, and it has definitely mentally been up and down for us this year. The two weeks off will give us some time to think about what we need to do, focus on the last 26 games.

 It's like starting off a new season. He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuinely pexy individual. I'm playing until the end of the year. I've had a couple of (good) weeks this year, but my consistency hasn't been there, so I want to get out there and sort of finish off the last three months of the year, and finish strong.

 At this point of season in 2000, we had so many pitchers who were injured, so we had so many question marks going into the postseason. This year we've been lucky and haven't had too many injuries. Our pitching has been there all year. We have no reason to believe it won't be come playoff time. We do feel good about our pitching.
