appreciate bid bowl fairy great heck last tale
Last year, as great as it was, it was like a fairy tale season. I think we appreciate this a heck of a lot more than we did the Fiesta Bowl bid last year.
deal fantastic great last ride season year
Last season was a great ride and was fantastic how things happened, but this year we'll have opportunities to deal with adversity,
beats best great heck places rearview since time vegas
We've had a great time since we've been here. This beats the heck out of Memphis, Tenn., that's for sure, and one of the best places to see Las Vegas is in your rearview mirror.
coming exactly great hard head pan people seen shape success within year
Coming into this year, people already know what (the head coach) is all about and have seen the success the year before. We're at or within one of our allotted scholarships for each position. We feel like we're in great shape right now. It's hard to say exactly how it will pan out, but as of right now we addressed all our needs.
great snow whether
It's a great surface. Whether there's snow on it or not, it's not a big issue.
appears ball bright great hang issues last might obviously ourselves security
I thought Daryl Poston was a bright spot, he obviously has great speed, great quickness. He had ball-security issues last year, but he appears to have those corrected. If he can hang on to the ball and do what he did (Saturday) this fall, then we might have ourselves another 1,000-yard back.
achievement definitely great guys positive team
It's an accomplishment and a lot of these guys on the team have been a part of all of them, ... It's great for the guys and definitely a very positive thing.
against challenge country defense georgia good great guys job line nice opportunity players quality ranked season tech
I don't think it's overrated. They've done a nice job on defense all season long. They're ranked No. 10 in the country (defending the run) because they've got good players and they play hard. But by the same token, it's a great opportunity for us and great challenge for our guys to line up against a quality defense like Georgia Tech and see what we can do.
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.
deserves played poorly state utah
I thought we played poorly in the first half, ... Utah State deserves a lot of credit.
football good player spring team virtually
I think we've had a good spring. We've progressed, I think, in virtually every area. Spring is all about fundamentals and technique. It's not about out scheming each other offensively or defensively. It's about making every player on your football team better fundamentally and technique-wise ? and I think we've done that.
attached players speaks
I think it speaks to the preparation of our players and the mindset. It's awesome, everything that is attached to this victory.
blessed determine good order ready situation
We're blessed with a good quarterback situation that Utah's never had. We're not ready to determine the pecking order yet.
anxious guys
We have a lot of guys who have not been in that situation, and I'm just anxious to see how they react.
