We understand the serious nature of the charges and certainly don't condone in any way the type of conduct which has been alleged. However, we will not make a comment about this specific matter until we collect more information.
There are times when we are getting an outstanding performance from the running back. There are times when we are getting a hat on a hat to finish a block. We just have to do it more consistently. ... It's just a matter of execution on a more consistent basis from the entire unit.
Just the opposite. I think we should do a lot of stuff. I don't think going in the bag is going to help us. Because it doesn't matter what we do we still have to execute and do it with discipline. It's not what we're doing. It's how we're doing what we're doing. Getting conservative about it is not going to help us at all.

It doesn’t matter what you are ranked until the end.
One thing about championship teams is that they're resilient. No matter what is thrown at them, no matter how deep the hole, they find a way to bounce back and overcome adversity.
There are good players at every spot. Including 16.
The players showed a lot of pride in their part to establish an identity we're trying to form here,
There are a lot of things we think Chris Chambers is capable of doing and to have success like this will help his confidence and maybe we'll continue to see some big-play potential there, that we've always thought existed.
When you have reached the pinnacle as a player of what you have always aspired for, what's your motivation? ... Some guys just work their tail off because they want to be good. It's important to them and their pride. Those guys have a better chance to succeed than the guy who did all of that to get here, and now all of a sudden the things that got him here don't seem to be important anymore.
When you go down and score the first time you have the ball, that sets the tempo for the game.
