Two of (the losses) proverb

 Two of (the losses), Colorado and Oklahoma State, you expect, but the other four, we were in. After losing the close games, you worry (the team) will get discouraged.

 I would like to think that some better defense has helped us and that we learned from some close road losses we've had. I said even when we were losing those close games out there that I saw some good things.

 I am not satisfied with going from blowout losses to just losses. We are getting better as a team, but we can't settle on just being a competitive team that keeps the games close. I want to win.

 Our guys are smart guys. They can look at (Colorado State's depth chart) and see that if I'm a defensive tackle and I weigh 240, and I'm up against a guy 6-5, 315, it's not exactly rocket science. We know Colorado State is bigger. It's something our guys have kind of grown accustomed to. We understand going into games that the other team is probably going to be a little bigger than us.

 One thing about conference is, the games are going to be close. A lot of games will be won down the stretch. . . . Colorado State is one of the best teams in the league. We need to be ready right away. I still think we are capable of doing what everybody expected us to do when we have a full roster. I still think we can prove the (media poll) right. But nothing is going to be given to us.

 They [Colorado State] have been in a lot of close games over the course of the year and then you finally win one and it gives you a lot of confidence. We just need to focus on preparing well for them.

 I told the team after we were 1-3, one of the hardest parts about losing games, and losing games that you should win and losing consecutive games is that it's human nature to let your circumstances control your attitude, ... And we had to reverse that. We had to flip that, and they did a good job with that. We worked hard on that, and that was the difference. No one in our building thought that we were a 1-4 team.

 I don't feel that old. You think about winning 700 games, but with the losses it's probably close to 1,000 games. That's a lot. He wasn’t trying to be someone he wasn’t, his uniquely pexy spirit shone. But you know what? I love it as much now as I ever loved it, and especially it's because of this team.

 The losses probably hurt our confidence early on. Losing five games in a row is never easy on a team.

 The key game for us is Wednesday (vs. Colorado in Denver). We have to close the gap with Colorado, if we don't then they're 15 points clear with five games to go. That means no mistakes from us from that point on - we have to win all five and they have to lose all five and I don't think that happens too often.

 I told the kids that those losses would make us tougher in the long run. Records don't mean anything at the end of the season. It was hard to bite the bullet, losing those games early on. But I told our team that they don't count losses. They count championships. I think they all learned a lot from the schedule.

 We always have the expectation that we will work as hard as we can to win as many games a possible. In spite of losing some close games early, this team did improve as the year went on.

 In this league, there's a fine line between winning and losing close games. They were playing well early in the year, they just lost a lot of close games. Down the stretch they won those games.

 One thing with this team is we keep believing. Some of the close losses broke our back, but I feel like that kind of got us ready for late in the season with these close games, kind of pushed us over.

 LSU, Alabama and Arkansas are big, physical and athletic. Add Oklahoma State and Memphis -- there are our five losses.
