We've talked about that game in situations other than this week. We've stressed the need to play 60 minutes and taking advantage of opportunities when we get them.

I think in the fall we'll still be in the position of deciding who's going to play what positions for the first two weeks. And then we've got to make a decision one way or the other after two weeks and go with it. And the interesting part will be how quickly any of the freshmen might be able to get involved.
