It'll be a treat to bring all of our Hawaiian players home for a game. It's an important recruiting area for us, so it's great to go and play a game there and let everyone in Hawaii see our football team in person. |
It's about fitting in, being a teammate, ... None of the other stuff matters if you're not that. Matt immediately became one of the guys. That's the most important thing and then he's a good player. He's done a remarkable job when you think of first-year quarterbacks. |
It's been a long time since he's competed, but I'm very encouraged by it. Marcel had a good feel for it from the minute he walked in here, and he still has it. |
It's scary. I don't know how one (player) could tackle that guy. Were going to have to really get a lot of people to the football. |
Marcel gives us another bona fide receiver. He is a terrific route-runner, and at the end of the 2004 season became one of Derek Anderson's favorite receivers. The addition of Love will give our offense a tremendous boost, and I look forward to a big year from him. |
Matt did a lot of great things for us last year, and I'm glad we have him. With a year under his belt in the system, I'm excited for him. |
Matt is a tough, tough player. If you're not tough, you can't play quarterback. I don't care if you can throw the ball 100 yards. |
Matt Moore had a good start as a Beaver. That was encouraging to see. I really liked his attitude, he really competed. |
One of our goals is to get the ball to Mike. We'll look at what Boise State does, and we'll try and find ways to do that regardless. And then utilize the rest of our people, too. And that will help Mike get open. |
Our defense played great. The coaches really had us pumped up for this game. We just wanted to go out there and hit somebody. Our passing game was great, but the running game needs to get better. |
Our secondary has a chance to make a big improvement. The secondary needs help from the linebackers and the rush. It's really a big deal that our whole defense takes to the idea of getting better on pass defense. Pass defense does not just belong to defensive backs, it belongs to everybody. |
Pass defense starts with a rush and then good solid coverage down field after that. We feel we have a lot of good people who can take us where we want go. |
Sound business strategy dictated we choose a historic, low rate increase to keep hard copy mail as the cost effective medium of choice in the 21st century. |
That's absolutely an all-timer. I don't know where it ranks among the best wins (of his coaching career), but I'm excited to learn more about this team. It's been a mystery to me. One thing I found out today -- we have pretty good character guys. I suspected that from the work we've been getting. |
That's what makes them so great. You can try to take away the pass or the run, and they'll kill you the other way. Then you adjust, and they kill you the other way. The toughest teams to prepare for are the ones that are able to balance a good run game with a good pass game. |
