football good player spring team virtually
I think we've had a good spring. We've progressed, I think, in virtually every area. Spring is all about fundamentals and technique. It's not about out scheming each other offensively or defensively. It's about making every player on your football team better fundamentally and technique-wise ? and I think we've done that.

We're blessed with a good quarterback situation that Utah's never had. We're not ready to determine the pecking order yet.
game grow seven shown sign starting telling
We couldn't put 'em away, ... That's going to be something we need to address. It's happened, it's shown up consistently now, but we need to be able to take a game and put it away when we have the opportunity. Sign of a young defense, I'm telling you right now. We've got seven new starters. That is a tell-tale sign of a young defense. But Game 4 now, we should be starting to grow up a little bit.

We have a lot of guys who have not been in that situation, and I'm just anxious to see how they react.

achievement country defense dominate football good prepared quite team win yards
We prepared very well for them. I thought we would play well, but I didn't think that we would win like this. They're the 10th-ranked defense in the country and we put up over 500 yards on them. They're a very good football team and we were able to dominate them. It's quite an achievement for us.

Nothing lasts forever. One streak was not going to go to infinity, that's obvious.
ahead air force game glad knocking light mixer option saw uses whereas
I'm glad we got a look at the option, but the Air Force option with its complexities is light years ahead of what we saw at TCU, and I'm not knocking TCU. It's just that TCU is a mixer whereas Air Force uses the option game as their staple.
class extremely pleased recruiting top
I'm extremely pleased with the recruiting class from top to bottom.
ball controlled deserves good missed state utah
It wasn't a good first half. Utah State deserves a lot of credit. ... They controlled the ball well in the first half, and we missed a lot of tackles.
anxiety defensive definitely departure far feeling routine stress
The feeling hasn't been different, but the routine has. It's such a departure from what I was used to as defensive coordinator. It's definitely different. But as far as the anxiety and the stress level, it doesn't feel different to me at all.
