game grow seven shown sign starting telling
We couldn't put 'em away, ... That's going to be something we need to address. It's happened, it's shown up consistently now, but we need to be able to take a game and put it away when we have the opportunity. Sign of a young defense, I'm telling you right now. We've got seven new starters. That is a tell-tale sign of a young defense. But Game 4 now, we should be starting to grow up a little bit.
again crew game good leave miserable quite thankful until
We've been very good penalty-wise up until this game. All I can say is I'm quite thankful we don't have to play a game with an ACC refereeing crew again this year. That was miserable and I'll leave it at that.
caught good situation win
It?s a good situation for us. You win up front. You can never be caught short-handed in the front.
both couple front good gotta quality schools situation strong teach value weak
You can never have enough quality front guys. All you've gotta do is have a couple of years where you're not too good up front to teach you the value of being strong on both lines. It's something we never want to have, a situation here where we are weak up front. That being the case, we probably allot more scholarships up front than other schools for that very reason.
air behind extremely feels force game good nice pain rearview
It feels extremely good to get this game behind us. Air Force is a pain . . . to defense, and it is nice to have them in the rearview mirror.
ball controlled deserves good missed state utah
It wasn't a good first half. Utah State deserves a lot of credit. ... They controlled the ball well in the first half, and we missed a lot of tackles.
best defensive expect mountain tackle west
I expect him to be the best defensive tackle in the Mountain West Conference.
best corner defense valuable
There's nothing better on defense than a shut-down corner that you can put on their best guy. That is the most valuable thing you can have.
again crew game good leave miserable quite thankful until
We've been very good penalty-wise up until this game, ... All I can say is I'm quite thankful we don't have to play a game with an ACC refereeing crew again this year. That was miserable and I'll leave it at that.
came game played point score second turning
In the second half, we came back and played better. ... The turning point of the game was when they mishandled the punt. We were able to turn around and score and put the game away.
great positive recruiting team terms
It's always great to get a Pac-10 team on the schedule. That's a positive thing, in terms of recruiting and things of that nature.
Ratliff was unbelievable. What he's done in two ballgames is phenomenal.
