focused guys mean pleased talk team understand veterans
I get the sense they understand, ... I've been very pleased with our mind-set. Our guys have been focused for every game. It hasn't really wavered at all. That's not us, I don't believe. We don't ever really talk about rankings. There are enough veterans on this team to understand that it doesn't really mean anything.
aaron almost game gonna last oregon second start state talk
We had almost the same talk I had with Aaron after the Oregon State game ... Joe's gonna be our guy, not like the last game where he was going to start the second half.
believing last night proud staying talked together
We talked all week, especially last night and this morning, about believing and staying together as a team. I was very proud there was never any quit.
ball good joe knew offense ran throwing
I knew we'd be OK. Joe had a good day throwing the ball and he ran the offense really well. He has a lot of potential.
goofing turn
Every now and then you'd turn around (at practice) and see him goofing off with the guys. You don't see that anymore.
ball brings confidence evident game last ran steve table turn
Steve was very efficient. He didn't turn the ball over, he ran the huddle well and he brings a confidence to the table and it's infectious. It was pretty evident last game and it was there today.
effort great improved reflection surprise typical
It was great to see a reflection of how much we've improved with this young team. This effort was typical of our team. It doesn't surprise me.
game involved
They will go to the meetings, be involved with the game plan.
ball conscious effort hang onto strip
(The Cougars) were making a conscious effort to strip the ball out, ... and (Lynch) was making a conscious effort to hang onto it.
fan favor love voted
I love it, ... That's why I'm a fan of it, that's why I'm in favor of it, and that's why I voted for it.
credit good job offense physical played spreading
I want to give BYU a lot of credit. Their offense did a good job of spreading the field. They played very well and they have a physical defense.
athletes both compare game great impossible spread teams unfair
It's impossible to compare different eras because the game is so much different now. Things are so spread out today, and athletes are so much better, it's an unfair comparison. All you can say is both teams were great for their time.
aaron definitely guys mark period question short snap special taken
It's definitely a question mark about our season, ... Aaron was a pretty special guy. He did so much in such a short period of time. Now we'll be going with guys who have never taken a snap at this level.
difficult early manage players schedules
It's been very difficult to manage the schedules of the players because this is such an early game. This has been particularly challenging.
