Mario's going to play and probably play a lot if everything keeps going like it's been. He knows what he's doing. He's catching the ball pretty well.
Like I told the players, it doesn't mean anything if we get whipped this week. We have a pretty levelheaded group of seniors who know the jury is still out on us. We know we're good. We know we have a chance to do some special things. But how good can we be? No one knows for sure. We've still got a long way to go.

I wanted to make sure he knew I believe in him. I hope he knows that, but sometimes, in that moment, you need a little encouragement.
Everyone knows his name now, but no one knows the blockers,
If that hamstring didn't set him back, who knows where he would be,
If he'd had a few more balls caught throughout the year, who knows what kind of year he could have had.
I didn't know I got criticism.
When we were down 28-0, I didn't know if anything good was going to happen tonight. But to the credit of our players we made it a battle. We made them sweat a little bit.
We're going to make sure he's the primary target a lot. We have more pass plays than I've ever had in our offense that are geared toward the tight end.
We're going to make him a primary target. Now, I don't know how many passes he's going to catch. We could make him the primary target 15 times a game, but we may only throw to him to eight times because he's covered, and he may only catch six. But we're going to have more pass plays than we've ever had geared toward him.
We're just very thankful that it looks like he'll be back for the Auburn game and be able to finish his senior year the way we were hoping he could, ... In the meantime, we've got to find a way to win without him.
We feel better about it today than we did going into the game. We still have to see how they do with tighter coverage. Boise State played mostly soft coverage, not much press at all so no one had to worry about getting off a jam or redirecting or that kind of thing. We'll see how they handle a little more pressure.
We're expecting to get him back this season. We just don't know when.
