I told them after the game that you might have outside influences who try to split you apart, but the important things you need to stay together. |
I would look at anything that came along, but at the same time I'm very happy here. I'm excited about our program - where it is, what we've done so far this year from where we started and where it can go in the future, I think, |
I would look at this week for us as like a training camp. We're back in camp. |
I've always been very thankful that they did take a chance, |
It (the offense) may look vanilla, but that is the way we're going to be, ... We have to think about our players first and think about having a young freshman quarterback. |
It does give me some closure to be out here, but I'm ready to move on. |
It doesn't look great right now. |
It's great for San Diego State and it's great for the new regime. It's a great way to kick off Labor Day weekend. Any time you can get on national television and have a chance to sell your program, it's a plus. |
It's nothing against Paul, |
It's something that I've always believed in. It was the basis of our philosophy at Oklahoma, making it competitive every year. I think it just makes your team so much stronger and gives you a better chance to win. It gives everybody an opportunity and keeps people involved, keeps them hungry, and that's what you want. |
One of the things we have to be able to do in this offense is to have some shots and be able to hit those shots. We have to be good at pass protection and max protection, so we can get the ball downfield. |
Our goal in this game was to create a physical presence on our offense, nothing fancy. |
Our plan was to develop some physical toughness. The last three years, we've really had that, and we decided that we needed to start that today. |
Paul's worked extremely hard and has shown excellent play in practice and in scrimmages. Paul will probably get that opportunity at another time. |
Rhett has a tendency, like all young quarterbacks, to go in there and try to do everything at once, ... He'll want to get it all done in one quarter, and we're going to give him more time than that. |
