brings coaching excellent experience guy joining lucky opportunity pass record state track wide
I feel very lucky to have a guy like Brent joining our staff. He has an excellent track record coaching wide receivers and quarterbacks, and also brings outstanding experience coordinating offenses. Having Brent come to Boise State was an opportunity we could not pass up.
coach excellent football good great hire people program
He's an excellent football coach. It's a great hire for those guys. The way I look at it, he'll make us better. That program will be better for him, and competition's a good thing. That makes people better.
best coaches faster full players slow study understand
The best way to get better is to study yourself. Our players and our coaches are always studying. We have that attitude. When you study, you know what to do, and when you understand your assignment, you play faster because you don't have to slow down to make decisions. We like to play at full speed.
challenged good
That is something I'm always challenged with on the field. To be a good person even when it's not going like it should.
aggressive blow coach creating envelope hawkins problems push stuff worried
Nothing is off-limits. Coach Hawkins is very aggressive in his thinking. If you're always worried that something could blow up on you, you're not going to push the envelope and not going to try new things. Some of the stuff does blow up on us, but the tradeoff is the problems we're creating for defenses whenÊit works.

They both know that that part of our game needs to step up. Anthony was, percentage-wise, fairly accurate, but we also knew not to put him in any questionable situations.

They were at a different level physically than we'd seen.

We just needed to get our kicking issue solved for the long term.

To add the number of cars you're talking about...will just change everything.
bar cutting guy move
We want a guy on the cutting edge. We want someone who is going to move the bar up from where it's been set by Pit.
consistent guy happen last next reason step taking talked whatever year
We talked last year about him taking the next step there, and that didn't happen for whatever reason where we wanted him to. Did he get better? He did. He got better on occasion, but he wasn't the consistent guy that we needed.
competition everybody
Everybody got better. The competition just heats up.
besides crucial offensive production step
Somebody's going to have to step up there besides Ian Johnson. That will be crucial to our offensive production in the fall, and I think (Denton) is making strides.
driving entire scared
I've never been so scared driving in my entire life.
