We like to celebrate the new year like everybody else. Everybody will be kept in house and in great order, as well. But we want to have fun. We have plenty of time to enjoy it.
We weren't cheering when the new BCS ranking came out this morning. I know that, ... The BCS ranking is really important when you finish the season, not now.
(UA) played really hard, and they had a very good defense, ... Their scheme is very solid. They know how to mix their looks and their pressures. They came after us and were really effective. We respect the heck out of what they are doing and what they are capable of doing.
We return some really solid players. We have no depth at all. I really like what we're bringing in there.
We're trying to hustle Sedrick's development. The first game is not an indicative game. Hawaii doesn't run a normal offense.
We will have to wait and see when he gets to practice today. There is no damage at all to his knee, it is sore from getting banged on it, but he is going to practice today. We will ease him through the week until he is feeling 100%. He might feel 100% today. He is real encouraged, and I am not really concerned about it.
We'd been having a hard time getting other offenses off the field, ... We need to get the ball back to our offense. You can see what happens when we do that.
Family is family. That means we open the doors to them. I think our players are comfortable with people at practice. We try to do a real nice job of screening. I'm not paranoid about it. However, we're going to do everything we can to try and not let the wrong people watch.
It's nothing like it was before, it wasn't that kind of injury, but they just don't know. We're going to be extra cautious.
It still feels very early in the program. I don't think we've done anything truly remarkable yet, but I see the potential for a run. There's a chance for us to be a very good, long-term program where one game or season shouldn't affect that.
It's probably hard for you to imagine, but we took this thing in stride, step by step as we went through. We didn't talk about national championship very much, the players probably did some.
Do I feel like they are threatening us, and are going to give us a hard time? ... Absolutely, it doesn't matter who we are playing. I don't think it is because of who we have playing, I think they have a loaded up offense. They have a really good philosophy with how they run their offense. I don't think it has to do with our personnel right now. That isn't what I am concerned about. I am concerned about teaching the game plan, and executing it well so we can hopefully give them some problems. I feel pretty much the same every week about that.
That's so far out of line with the way we think, I can't even imagine how that happened.
That right there is where the game was won and lost. We make the first down, we win the game.
