absolutely beat bowl dominated football game objective playing quality team winning
That was a quality football team we beat out there. Not only beat them, we dominated them, 38-10. Getting in the bowl game is one thing, but winning it is the objective ... Did I see a 38-10 victory? Absolutely not. Did I see us playing well? Absolutely yes.
arizona best northern quality scenario
We feel Northern Arizona is a quality I-AA team. And that was the best scenario for us.
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.
beat dominated football guys plays quality
We had so many guys making plays today, it was unbelievable. (Georgia Tech) was a quality football team, and not only did we beat them, we dominated them.

A series with Boise State makes sense for a lot of reasons. For the last several years they have been very successful and we're excited to have a quality program like Boise State on our schedule
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.
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.
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.

Last season was a great ride and was fantastic how things happened, but this year we'll have opportunities to deal with adversity,
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.
anymore case changes decided decision education game heart players reason sure talked time whatever
Players have changes of heart all the time and for whatever reason they decided they want to go in a different direction. . . . For whatever reason they've made the decision to take their game and their education ? whatever the case may be ? elsewhere. I'm not sure if they're going to play anymore or not. It's up to them. I haven't talked to them about that.
