bit closer guys happen practice wait week
We're going to wait to see what happens. We don't know what's going to happen right there right now. We're going to practice this week and give some guys some turns, some opportunities, and then we'll make an announcement about what we're going to do there a little bit closer to the game.
allison costs couple deep guy knew plays reports whenever
We knew that Allison was a big-play guy from all the reports that we had read, and we've got to make plays on the deep end. A couple of times we didn't today, and whenever you don't do that, it costs you.
everybody player
Everybody will be a better player when they're 23 than they are at 18.

addressing deep deeper depth last players recruiting
We're not deep enough, but we're deeper than we were last year. We've just got to keep addressing depth in recruiting and the development of the players that we have.

I thought it was a good fight. I thought we fought to the bitter end.

Our quarterbacks played under extreme pressure. I thought they did a good job hanging in there. What they did today, that wasn't easy.

I think it's very comparable. I think that's going to be how we get out of this deal -- we recruit our way out of it.
belief great kids played powerful
That was a great day for us. I thought our kids played really well. We had a lot of belief that day and belief is a powerful tool.
