We recovered from (Penn State). I don't think it had any lingering effects. |
We want our fans to enjoy Spartan football home and away. This game fits our new philosophy of playing as many Western teams as possible and USC is the best there is at this point. It will be exciting for San Jose State to play against them. |
We want to be known for the way we play, not what we look like. |
We wanted to set a firm foundation so we wouldn't be on a two-year track. And the truth is the NCAA rules have changed dramatically in the past 15 years so it's difficult to get JC guys in and ready to go. |
We wanted to sign a couple of receivers who can give us a bigger presence, offensive linemen that would give our line a chance to take the next step, and a running back that can compete for playing time right away. Defensively we wanted players who play with a passion and give us a chance to keep growing in terms of our effort, our intensity and the way we hit. The players we signed certainly fit into these categories. |
We're running the West Coast offense whatever that means. We're going to focus on the intermediate passing game. We'll throw it every down if we have to or we'll run it every down if we have to. |
