chance close coming finishing gave good hard looking ourselves played plays tired
I'm getting tired of coming close and not finishing the deal. We started out looking like a team, then struggled, stumbled and fumbled and did not look very good at the half. We responded, competed and played hard and made the plays that gave ourselves a chance to win.
certainly expected guy impact johnson likely nobody people start
Nobody expected Braxton Kelley to come in here and start and do all of those things, now people look at Micah Johnson and expect him to come in and start and do all of those things. I don't think that's fair. Is it possible? Yeah, it's possible. Is it probable? It's not real likely he'll be a star as a freshman. Certainly he'll be a guy that will come in and have an impact on our program.
chance deal fought game idaho last loss players prove reward team win
The first game we had a chance to win and we rebounded and fought back, but we didn't get any reward (in a loss to Louisville). Then we fought back in our last game (against Idaho State) and won. Now we have even more players sidelined. Now we'll really see how we deal with adversity, because this is a chance to prove we really are a different team this year.

They were rockin' and rollin', especially late in the fourth quarter, ... They supported us even when it wasn't looking very good for us. I think our whole team understands the importance of what our troops are doing for us right now. It was nice to have them here in the stadium.

blocking game good guy hard strong time
This guy is a big-time player. I think you are going to see this every game out of him. We've had a hard time blocking him all spring. Myron is very instinctive, very strong and he can run. That's a pretty good combination.

I'm going to see the draw play in my dreams for the next three weeks, ... Everybody in the stadium knew it was coming, and we still couldn't stop it.
