carry dues expect feeling focused football intense knowing needed paid pay player players supposed team work
There's a big mind-set difference. The mind-set comes from the way you work and the way you practice. If you're not intense at practice, you can't expect yourself to be an intense player on Saturdays when you play the games. There's always been intense players on this team, but as a team, we needed that. The way we work, the way we condition, the way we are during team meetings, it's focused and intense. And I know it's going to carry over to the football field. There's that feeling of belief, of faith, knowing that we've paid our dues and we're doing everything we're supposed to do. It's going to pay off.

He's so focused, so disciplined, ... And he doesn't just ask it of us, he lives it himself. He wants it so bad for this program. He's not here for the glory of being 'the BYU football coach.' He's here because he loves this program and he wants to see all of us succeed. He cares about the tradition of winning. He's the type of person that a lot of people on this team want to be like when they're older.

That's the purpose for the hard work in the offseason, ... So we can be comfortable now. I wanted to prepare myself so, on Saturday, I can be confident. You want to go out there and think, 'If I perform the way I should, they can't stop us.' I feel that way about my teammates, too. I believe in them - I want them to believe in me, to trust me, to know, when they look at me, they can depend on me.

adjust ball certain defense dictates five guys plays receiver route running specific throws whereas whoever
So many of these plays are set plays, where it's five guys running their specific route and the quarterback throws the ball to whoever the defense dictates is going to get the ball. Whereas in the past, it was each receiver would do certain things to adjust his route to try to get open.
Obviously, we're disappointed in ourselves, because we know we can be a high-powered offense.
