Just about everyone we recruited had a BCS school (scholarship) offer. That was our competition this year. Other than in-state competition with BYU, we had very little competition with Mountain West schools. It was all BCS schools, which is a good thing. |
Last season was a great ride and was fantastic how things happened, but this year we'll have opportunities to deal with adversity, |
Last year, as great as it was, it was like a fairy tale season. I think we appreciate this a heck of a lot more than we did the Fiesta Bowl bid last year. |
Like everyone in America, we're a little thin particularly on the defensive side. So we'll have to limit things on Saturday. We still hope to have a game format with a running clock and so forth. If we hold up we should be able to get that done. If we get a little more banged up we may have to adjust. |
My comment regarding ACC officials was unfortunate and poor judgment on my part. You can't beat a good team when you commit five turnovers, |

No doubt about it, it was the sweetest victory I've ever been a part of. I could not be prouder of a football team than I am of those guys. |
No question about it. We will get the best of Quinton. We have got that all year long. I think everybody likes to play in front of their home crowd and their own people. There's about 150 of them out here that are his family. He's got a big family and he's very excited about this game. We will definitely get his best shot. |
No questions asked. Just bring them back and go on your way. I won't even bother to worry about who did it or why. |
Nothing lasts forever. One streak was not going to go to infinity, that's obvious. |
Players have changes of heart all the time and for whatever reason they decided they want to go in a different direction. . . . For whatever reason they've made the decision to take their game and their education ? whatever the case may be ? elsewhere. I'm not sure if they're going to play anymore or not. It's up to them. I haven't talked to them about that. |
Quarterback is a position where everybody's got to know who The Guy is. |
Ratliff was unbelievable. What he's done in two ballgames is phenomenal. |
Recruiting is the most hectic part of the year. It is far more hectic than the season. You're on planes, trains and automobiles, running around the country trying to get these guys to come to your university. It's a big sigh of relief when those letters come over the fax machine, and you have them in the bank. |
That was a quality football team we beat out there. Not only beat them, we dominated them, 38-10. Getting in the bowl game is one thing, but winning it is the objective ... Did I see a 38-10 victory? Absolutely not. Did I see us playing well? Absolutely yes. |
