consistent gives momentum monkey road
We still need to be more consistent on offense. But at least the road monkey is off our back. This gives us some momentum and a lot of confidence.
capable goal means ncaa reach team tournament
The (winning streak) means a lot, but it's not going to mean anything if we don't reach our goal of making the NCAA Tournament and doing well. We know as a team that we are capable of doing big things.
believe fair gave good man playing shot
(Fisher) told me I was going to get a fair shot at playing right away here. He gave me the opportunity. He's a man of his word. He's a good coach. I believe in him.
beat bounce character confidence cost defense plays points scoring team
We didn't make enough plays (at BYU) on defense and it cost us. Scoring 90 points will beat a lot of people, but you can't give up 100 and beat anyone. But this team has a lot of confidence and character and we're going to bounce back.
falling
Everything was falling for me offensively when I was shooting. Defensively, I was in the right place at the right time.
philosophy signals
The terminology and the signals were going to be different, but the philosophy was the same,
beginning building came kept knew numbers threw throw yards
At the beginning of the season, we knew we were going to throw the ball. We didn't know we were going to put up the numbers we did, ... We came out and threw for (413) yards and from there it kept snowballing and kept building and building.
bad couple defense drives felt gave longer plays points red three time truth
We should have put up 40 points on them, to tell the truth, but we didn't do well in the red zone, ... We felt bad for the defense because we weren't getting it done. They were out there for 12 plays at a time and we were going three and out. But we were able to get a couple of longer drives at the end that gave them a breather.
blocking everybody five good guys job ran stick wide
Everybody was on the same page. The receivers ran good routes, the guys did a good job of blocking and it clicked. We started going five wide and they couldn't stick with our receivers.
coach knew option run though time wing
It was frustrating. Coach told me though that we were going to wing it. Coach called option one time and I called timeout because I knew I could not run the play.
asked coach halftime ready sudden
It was a sudden thing right before half, but at halftime coach asked me if I was ready to go back in. I said we could give it a go.
close far games hard next none running share teams unless win worked
We know how close we are to a (conference title). But we also know there are a lot of other teams in the running for it. We have to win our next two games unless we want to share it. None of us want that. We have come too far and worked too hard to share this.
atmosphere business last mind treated
We treated this like a business trip, ... This was a different atmosphere than last year. Everybody's mind was on this game.
fifth supposed
This is a lot different. We are so determined. And I'm a lot more comfortable - that's the way it's supposed to be when you get to your fifth year.
