Sure, I'd like to have a little bit of this stuff under our belt. |
That Virden keeps showing up. He has done a very nice job. He might be the most improved secondary guy we have got. |
That's the kind of thing that costs you a game right there. |
The biggest thing I want these guys to understand is that last year is done and gone and it's history. That is the critical factor. There is no sneaking up on people now. We gained some respect, but now we have to continue to earn respect. You can't command it. |
The defense from last week to this week is the best turnaround I think I have ever seen. The defense got after them. The spread offense is hard to defend. The tenacity we showed. We really mixed up the defensive calls. We didn't back off and came up with plays. |
The great thing that Jeff has going now is that he doesn't have to say much. He certainly has the respect of everyone on this club. |
The nucleus is there on the line, but the depth is a major, major question. |
The offensive line is the area I have the most concern with because we have to develop some depth. |
The surgery he had last year was the second one he's had and it is just a problem. He is no longer playing. He's in school and he'll finish the semester but he just doesn't feel comfortable with the shoulder. |
There are a lot of factors that go into evaluating a coach but conference finish and beating your rival have a strong presence. |
There is some great competition. They are all competing strongly and they had a great week last week. We are pretty pleased. Now, as it intensifies and the bullets get live, you find out a little bit more about who really can do what they can do. |
They came out to play ball and go up 21-zip after that punter fumbles that ball. It's tough to dig out of that. |
This guy is a gazelle. And he's so big and strong they sometimes put him at tight end. |
This is a great schedule. We open at home on ESPN against Washington State. That game will set the tone. It's a tough, competitive schedule, and I'm excited about it. |
This is an exciting time for Nevada football and Wolf Pack athletics. I am committed to achieving at the highest levels and embracing all of the responsibilities associated with being the head football coach and a member of this athletics staff. |
