We better understand that games in this stadium with non-conference opponents can have a very negative effect if they're not prepared, ... UAB and Miami of Ohio are two such evidences of that.

I think that will continue. I think everybody fits ideas into the system they have and the personnel they're coaching. We share it with people that are friends with our program and will keep it disclosed, so not to give away anything that we're certainly counting on winning games with.

I'm going to let my field goal kicker kick field goals. I'm not going to ask my team not to score. I didn't notice anything during the game that looked like it was going to lead to a fight.
