The whole line has been so-so. There's not really a standout player thus far in the first two games.
You just try to get your players ready, ... We just went and tried to get our players ready to play everywhere we went, and that's what we'll try to do here.
He's a good runner. He gets his pads low and he's hard to tackle. He was player of the year in the state of Washington a couple years ago, so he's a good, solid back.
Certainly now, if one player is not performing well, at any position, and you have another one who you feel can play as well or better, then you've got to give him a chance. I think Cade sort of put himself in position if the opportunity arises.
Let's just go play the game, ... and let the players decide who wins it. That's what we should all focus on this week.
If Blake were completely out for three or four weeks, I think we'd play Cade and see what he can do. I really believe in his third, fourth, fifth year, he can really be an outstanding player here.
This surface is very good. Our players enjoyed it. It's the soft, phony grass instead of that hard stuff. This is the new stuff to play on. It's very good.
We believe it is a very similar recruiting class to last year. You never know until about five years from now. We certainly feel the offensive lineman, the defensive lineman and a few players here and there will help our team immediately.
It's very good. Our players enjoyed it. It's the soft grass instead of that hard stuff. It's excellent.
It's going to be a new bunch. Of course, statistically we weren't all that super. But it's an opportunity for some new players to start playing ball.
I wanted to take this job. I didn't come and look and check out the players and facilities. A lot of people would have done that.
We don't have that person. It's hard, ... We're not looking for that person right now because no one plays that well that's a senior or an older guy. We just don't have an older guy that is a dominating-type player that can be a leader.
We are satisfied with the results. We appreciate the NCAA basically agreeing with our proposal. For the next couple of years, we will only have 83 players on scholarship.
Our plan will be about like everyone else's - not try to let him run all over the place. Our players know what they have to do. They have to contain. You don't just run straight at a quarterback who looks like him. Hopefully, our guys will get off blocks and sort of corral him.
