beat comment commit five good judgment officials poor regarding team
My comment regarding ACC officials was unfortunate and poor judgment on my part. You can't beat a good team when you commit five turnovers.
air behind extremely feels force game good nice pain rearview
It feels extremely good to get this game behind us. Air Force is a pain . . . to defense, and it is nice to have them in the rearview mirror.
blessed determine good order ready situation
We're blessed with a good quarterback situation that Utah's never had. We're not ready to determine the pecking order yet.
competition good mountain school west
Just about everyone we recruited had a BCS school (scholarship) offer. That was our competition this year. Other than in-state competition with BYU, we had very little competition with Mountain West schools. It was all BCS schools, which is a good thing.
ankle bad caught good missed telling third year
Had he not had a bad ankle this year, I'm telling you he would have caught 90 balls. That's how good he is. He missed a third of the year essentially.
campus chance good key people players record sign track visit visits
Getting players on this campus for visits is key for us. We have a very good track record of getting commitments from people who visit campus. If we can get people on campus, see what we're all about and get around our players, we have a good chance to sign any of them.
against challenge country defense georgia good great guys job line nice opportunity players quality ranked season tech
I don't think it's overrated. They've done a nice job on defense all season long. They're ranked No. 10 in the country (defending the run) because they've got good players and they play hard. But by the same token, it's a great opportunity for us and great challenge for our guys to line up against a quality defense like Georgia Tech and see what we can do.
both couple front good gotta quality schools situation strong teach value weak
You can never have enough quality front guys. All you've gotta do is have a couple of years where you're not too good up front to teach you the value of being strong on both lines. It's something we never want to have, a situation here where we are weak up front. That being the case, we probably allot more scholarships up front than other schools for that very reason.
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.
good maybe people realize win
It was good to get that win and maybe have some people realize that we're not done yet.
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.
continue front good guys hit islands majority point state year
We're going to continue to hit the islands and make that a point of emphasis. We've got very good front guys out of the state of Hawaii, but this year a majority of our front guys come from in-state. It was an exceptional year in-state for front guys.
football good minutes played
We played about 55 minutes of very good football,
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.
