everybody football game good knows pressure team
I know and everybody on our team knows we are going to be a good football team. But I think we were a little overwhelmed by the pressure of the game early.
ability coverage defensive good
For a defensive back, he's very physical. And I think he has very good coverage ability. He makes us better.
ability college corner great hard player positions recruit special
He is an outstanding college corner with great ability. Cornerback is one of those hard positions to recruit a player to. And he's a special player in that area.
continue high standards understand
I have very high standards of what I expect. I think we can do much better, but I also think we are where we want to be. I think we'll continue to get better and understand it more.
playing
Leon is playing better and better every week.
soft
I don't think it was 10 to 12 yards. We were soft on Spencer.
believe easily extra games gone great last missed sergio win
The thing that is great about it is that last week, after Sergio missed that extra point, he could have very easily gone into the tank. But he didn't. We all believe in him. He's a great kicker. And he's going to win a lot of other games for us this year.

We have tremendous respect for... (pause)... the team we are playing. This is a huge game for us.

We're in the process of continuing to set our standards high.

To get to where everybody understands what you are doing and completely understands it, yes, it is difficult.

We're not going to make it enjoyable to lose around here. It's going to be a miserable existence.
bother conference improve mountain offense ready struggled team today west wind
We struggled in the wind, no question. I told the team that in the Mountain West Conference you have to be ready to play in all the elements: heat, cold, wind, dust, fog. But the offense really let the wind bother us today and we have to improve on that.
anywhere good great hit red score sergio zone
We have a very good kicker that I feel great about. We have to score more touchdowns in the red zone this year, but I feel really good about Sergio anywhere from the 35-yard-line in. We know he can hit in the 50s.
dominate football line physical
We want to be able to dominate the line of scrimmage. We want to be a physical football team.
