We went against a lot of big-name schools. Our coaches were not shy about it. They went after the best players in their areas. We took some hits, but we won some.

accurate adjust ball best bit brian coming defense dropped gave good guys job plan played reading taking threw today
Brian threw the ball real well. He was very accurate today and I thought he did his best job of reading and taking what the defense gave us because they played us a little bit different than we thought they would coverage-wise, dropped guys a little deeper, blitzed us more on first down. So they had a pretty good plan coming in and we had to adjust a little bit.
ahead along brian
Brian has come along well. He's way ahead of where I thought he'd be right now.
talk
Brandon would talk to a wall, ... if he could get it to talk back to him.
aggressive ball clock coverage definitely eight everybody game good guys nine oregon pass plays press run rush starters state stop three tight waiting
Everybody would like to see that. Oregon State plays very aggressive on defense. They try to get eight or nine guys down to stop the run and play really tight press coverage with their corners. What they try to do is get a pass rush and put a clock on the quarterback, and they're very good at that. They have three new starters in the secondary. Everyone has been waiting for the ball to go downfield and we're definitely going to have to do that in this game and make some big plays.

I think he's got an opportunity to come in here and contribute right away. That's one of the reasons he chose (Louisville) is so he could play right away, immediately and hopefully have some impact.

We hope (our home-field advantage) is really big. That's what we want, ... We want to get where it is a real tough place to come in to play. Our guys are excited about it. It is our first time at home and it is going to be a good crowd. It's going to be loud.

Those are three crucial errors you can't have, ... That really hurt field position and hurt our ability to move the ball out.

We'll probably have him do as much as he can as long as nobody is around him. We won't take any chances.
august best certainly class everybody rank thinks time top until
Most of the time in February, everybody thinks they have the best class they've ever had. But we won't know until we get them here in August and see them. Certainly the way they rank them and the way we feel about them, it's our best class top to bottom. But that's always yet to be seen.
