last played teams year
I actually feel more comfortable this year than last year. We've played Pac-10-caliber teams this year, and I don't think we did that last year.
best knew personally team teams type
We knew they were desperate. I knew personally and the team knew they were going to come out and play their best football. Most teams do when they're in that type of situation.
ahead expected expecting football guys job knowing roles team themselves understanding
The team camaraderie we built, guys knowing their roles and not expecting too much from themselves, has helped. Guys are not getting ahead of themselves and they're understanding what's expected of them at every position. It's made everybody's job easier. That's what's made us a better football team.
team
I'm not where I want to be, but I don't think this team is where they want to be.
concerned football streak team time trying winning
Any time they've got No. 4 on their football team, anything can happen. They could have an eight-game winning streak from here on out, so I'm not really too concerned about that. I'm only concerned about us as a football team going up there and trying to get a victory.
chance close crowd fans huge man road
We would like to get as close to our fans as possible, because that's our 12th man on the field. The more we can do that, the better we feel we have a chance of winning, because the crowd can play a huge role. We don't want to have to feel that we play on the road every Sunday, but that is a possibility.

Try not to patronize us next time, traveling us to New York, saying we're playing a home game.
fly home next patronize york
Try not to patronize us next time, ... and fly us out to New York and say it's a home game.
home next time york
Try not to patronise us the next time we come to New York for a home game, but those were the circumstances.
definitely happens rebound stuff terrible
We got our split. We're not in a terrible situation. We could definitely be in a better situation, but stuff happens and we've got to rebound from it.
best job ourselves
We are going to come back strong. We are going to come back and do the best job we can and put ourselves in a better situation.
containing defender good great help job
Brandon's a great defender and he did a great job on me. They had great help and they did a good job of containing me.
definitely fire match
I don't know what it was. We just definitely didn't match their intensity. They had a lot more fire than we did.
guess throws
I couldn't make the throws I wanted to. I guess I'm not as Gumby as I thought I was.
