[In the loss at Texas Christian, now and again, Johnson dropped the keys.] He made some bad decisions, ... The pitch that was intercepted was one, and he missed some open reads on pass routes. . . . By no means is he a bad quarterback. He just wasn't as sharp as he was, particularly in Week 2. |
A lot of people are doubting us right now, ... But the reality is that we've lost two conference games on the last play of the game. . . . We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores running around out there, and they're good players. You look at us on paper, and I think we have the chance to develop into a very good football team this year and into next. |
A series with Boise State makes sense for a lot of reasons. For the last several years they have been very successful and we're excited to have a quality program like Boise State on our schedule |
As poorly as our defense tackled in the first half and as much as they controlled the football, the bottom line is still points allowed. And we only allowed seven points, which is a very good outing for the defense. |

Did I expect us to play well? Yes, I did. Did I expect us to win 38-10? No, I didn't. |
Eric Weddle is stepping up. He's stepped up his work habits. Eric is so gifted and so talented. In the past he's had little lulls in practice where he zones out a little bit, |
Getting players on this campus for visits is key for us. We have a very good track record of getting commitments from people who visit campus. If we can get people on campus, see what we're all about and get around our players, we have a good chance to sign any of them. |
Had he not had a bad ankle this year, I'm telling you he would have caught 90 balls. That's how good he is. He missed a third of the year essentially. |
He had some huge runs . . . just the spark that he gives us. He's a huge competitor. He picks everybody else up. |
He just can't sleep, |
He was doing a nice job. He was making some plays. |
He's done a very good job, |
