You can come across as a jerk. ... But that's the No. 1 characteristic we're looking for from guys on our field. Whether it's checkers or jump rope or football, to stop me you've got to bring everything you've got.
chemistry coming earn few gets guys matter talent
We're going to have to go out there and earn it, though. We had a lot of guys coming back this year. It doesn't matter how few guys you lose, the chemistry always changes. Talent only gets you so far. Chemistry ... has to come with it.

You don't want to have that many guys on scholarship.

There were some guys that got better out there.
awesome coaches great guys keeps passed staff state
I think there's been some great coaches that have passed through the state and I think they just know how awesome it is in Boise, Idaho. When you have guys who want to be in a place real bad, I think that important. I think it keeps staff continuity.

Everybody got better. The competition just heats up.
competition good health terms
We have to have two good quarterbacks, if not more, just in terms of health and if things don't go the way they should. Competition is good.
growing pains summer tried
Those guys, they're having growing pains and that's to be expected. As much as we tried to get them in there in the summer and get them prepared, there's just nothing like being in a game. You just can't simulate that situation.
