bunch certainly good lose rather starting team
We're not a team that has a bunch of superstars. We're not a one-man show. It's certainly not good to lose your starting quarterback, especially as good as he was playing, but we're going to concentrate on what we're going to do now rather than on what we've lost.
bet bunch game gotten great job jump maybe mixing people three voice worked
We have worked on it a lot. (Quarterback D.J.) Shockley just has great voice inflection. He's doing a great job of mixing up the cadence. I bet we're averaging three a game and maybe even more. We've gotten a bunch of people to jump offside just because of our cadence.

bring call defense guys hard
Those guys are hard to tackle. Even if you call the right defense and have guys in the right positions, you still have to bring them down and we didn't.
available ball became coach excited interview offer position saw thrilled time
We were all excited about how the interview was going. I was thrilled to have him back, but it was a little bittersweet because we saw what Coach Ball had to offer also. This time around when a position became available I didn't need to do any interviewing.
creating depth goes happens plays
We'll see if he can make some plays for us there, and see what happens over 15 practices. Even if he goes back to defense, he's creating some depth for us at receiver.
decision fair next performs prior test week weeks
We'll see how (Sims) performs this week and next week. To have two weeks prior to making a decision is going to be a real fair test for him.
lost next physically season six start strong true
We didn't have many linemen in the program, and he was just physically big enough and strong enough to play as a true freshman. Then the next season he had to start because we lost six seniors.
geared offense pass plays primary sure target tight toward
We're going to make sure he's the primary target a lot. We have more pass plays than I've ever had in our offense that are geared toward the tight end.
catch eight geared passes plays primary target throw toward
We're going to make him a primary target. Now, I don't know how many passes he's going to catch. We could make him the primary target 15 times a game, but we may only throw to him to eight times because he's covered, and he may only catch six. But we're going to have more pass plays than we've ever had geared toward him.
finish game hoping looks senior thankful win year
We're just very thankful that it looks like he'll be back for the Auburn game and be able to finish his senior year the way we were hoping he could, ... In the meantime, we've got to find a way to win without him.
handle jam mostly played press soft state today worry
We feel better about it today than we did going into the game. We still have to see how they do with tighter coverage. Boise State played mostly soft coverage, not much press at all so no one had to worry about getting off a jam or redirecting or that kind of thing. We'll see how they handle a little more pressure.
expecting
We're expecting to get him back this season. We just don't know when.
foot ourselves reason shooting whatever
We're just shooting ourselves in the foot again. Whatever the reason is for that, I don't know.
