against hard looks paper ready rival sports tough
The way it looks to me on paper is another Fresno-Hawaii, down-to-the-wire game. We always play hard and play tough against them. They're a rival in all sports here and we have to be ready to play.
coming defense early guys hard helping junior recovers tracking
Early in the season, there was a lot of separation, because he didn't think defense coming out of junior college. Now he's right with the guy, tracking hard and getting out in him. And our big guys are helping him, and he recovers better than he did.
energy everybody hard mind practices
Even the practices are different ? you can see they have more energy here than they do on the road. Everything's more comfortable for everybody at home, so you come out and practice hard because your mind is not on other things.
beat effort full guys hard matter team time
We can't just show up and think we're going to win. We're having a hard time with guys out and all that, but so are they. No matter who's out there, we're the kind of team that has to give full effort or we can get beat by anybody.
across built confidence early game hard pace saw stop team
Because we couldn't stop them early on and set the pace of the game, they built confidence as the game went on. It's hard to get across to your team that they're 0-8 but better than that, and we saw that.
both changes fit game hard prepare
We need to get everything down on both ends. (Davey) is hard to prepare for because he mixes things up. He changes his game to fit the opponent.
altitude everybody great hard talented win
It's not just hard for us, it's hard for everybody to win here. First of all, (Nevada) always has talented teams. But then you have the altitude and some of the distractions of the city, that's a great advantage.
coming good group hard replace
It's going to be hard to replace those guys. But we still have a good group coming back.
hard watch
(Substituting is) our job. They need to play hard and we need to watch them.
expected harder nevada stay win
He got my vote. You can say Nevada was expected to win the league, but sometimes it's harder to stay on top.
accept guys harder knowing plays role takes time took works
Some guys don't accept their role. He took his role and takes off, knowing the better he plays and the harder he works the more time he'll get. That's how it works.
grown hard held improve practice worked
They've really held together, grown as a team. They take coaching, they have worked hard in practice to improve their games, individually and (as a) team, and they like each other and play together.
bring guy hard help works
If every guy who comes back works hard and improves, and if we bring in recruits who can help us right away like we did this year, we'll be fine.
game hard player worked
He's worked as hard on his game as anybody. And you have to say he's an All-WAC player now.
