caught good situation win
It?s a good situation for us. You win up front. You can never be caught short-handed in the front.
great snow whether
It's a great surface. Whether there's snow on it or not, it's not a big issue.
game goal mountain ours type west win
It's not huge. I mean, it's a goal of ours to win the first game . . . and win the Mountain West Conference. But it's not a make-or-break-your-season type of a game.
absolutely coaching entirely football good group potential program staff time
This is an entirely different group of players, we have a new coaching staff and there are a lot of things going on in this program that will take time to come to fruition. Are we where we need to be right now? Absolutely not. But I feel good about the potential of this football team.
guy position
Quarterback is a position where everybody's got to know who The Guy is.
Ratliff was unbelievable. What he's done in two ballgames is phenomenal.
bother bring questions worry
No questions asked. Just bring them back and go on your way. I won't even bother to worry about who did it or why.
best crowd definitely everybody excited family front home likes question year
No question about it. We will get the best of Quinton. We have got that all year long. I think everybody likes to play in front of their home crowd and their own people. There's about 150 of them out here that are his family. He's got a big family and he's very excited about this game. We will definitely get his best shot.
best corner defense valuable
There's nothing better on defense than a shut-down corner that you can put on their best guy. That is the most valuable thing you can have.
athletic guy high hurt kid naturally school seen shoulder starting stud
If he had not hurt his shoulder . . . you probably would have seen him as the starting stud linebacker long before now, ... He's just a guy who's a naturally athletic kid - he had 30-something interceptions in high school - and he's a playmaker.
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.
football running team
A lot of people are doubting us right now, ... But the reality is that we've lost two conference games on the last play of the game. . . . We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores running around out there, and they're good players. You look at us on paper, and I think we have the chance to develop into a very good football team this year and into next.
