advantage build certainly challenge colorado coming glimpse good seize team time town tremendous week
We got a glimpse of what can happen, where we can be. And with a very good Colorado team coming to town with a week off, certainly we'll have a tremendous challenge there. But I think being at home, this is a time we've got to build on. We've got to take advantage of it. Seize the day.
best good guys obviously opportunity rhythm
We're disappointed. Guys wanted to play. Obviously we're in a pretty good rhythm now and want to have an opportunity to get better. We'll just make the best of it.
force left thrown
We didn't need to force the ball. We had timeouts left and probably could have thrown something underneath.
line maintain
We didn't maintain the line of scrimmage. And we didn't tackle.
difference effort huge team tremendous win
We didn't let Marcus get comfortable today. It was an outstanding team win for us, just a tremendous effort by our defense. That was a huge difference in the game.
certainly coach people players special
We are certainly pleased. When you are around very special people, you like to keep those people around the players and the programs. Coach Cristobal is one of those.
certainly work
We certainly have a lot of work to do offensively.
buck flashy miss realize trying
We're trying to get him back healthy. We really miss Buck, and you don't realize that, because Buck is not such a flashy player.
develop developing either guarantee mental toughness
You either develop mental toughness or you fold. I'll guarantee that they're developing it in Tallahassee. We better develop it here.
drink force minutes
You drink water, but you really need to force it. And they've conditioned during the summer, going out 30, 45 minutes or an hour. Then you're out for a two-hour practice. It's a lot different.
against team
You do that against our team and I don't think you'll have a lot of success.
good
There's going to be some good battles, good competition.
guys last question satisfied urgency
There's no question our guys were not satisfied with last season. There was some embarrassment there. You could say there is a sense of urgency on this team.

A lot of them come back here. Jonathan Vilma just left a few days ago to come back to New York. Dan Morgan was here. They love coming back.
