At Oregon, we were on the quarter system and didn't start school until September, so we'd play three games before school started. One year, I lost a game at Ohio State and went back to two-a-days the next week. You can't do that anymore. You used to be able to outwork somebody in preparing for a game, but now everybody's limited to the same amount of time.

chance close coming finishing gave good hard looking ourselves played plays tired
I'm getting tired of coming close and not finishing the deal. We started out looking like a team, then struggled, stumbled and fumbled and did not look very good at the half. We responded, competed and played hard and made the plays that gave ourselves a chance to win.

I've had other guys try to influence recruits, but never as demonstratively as Micah. He didn't want to be the only top recruit ... he wanted to get us some help down here.

It's amazing how situations can change. I don't know what Indiana was expecting to have at receiver, but I know they are very talented at that spot now. We thought we would be, but injuries have really hit us hard.
