We'll start the spring with Chris Olsen; he'll be the first guy to go into the huddle. Kevin McCabe will follow him in. And that's the way it is and that's the way it's going to stay until performance by any of the quarterbacks determines otherwise. What have we not covered there?

Last week, we didn't really care what anybody said about us, ... We don't really care this week. We know what we have to do this week to keep it going.
