They've got to make plays and not make negative plays. The negative plays are as big a factor in this race as anything. You can not make negative plays.

This is just like getting a star recruit. It is a huge plus for our team.

It's the most unbelievable thing I've ever been around. I hope we've put the injuries past us. We'll have to see if some of these other guys can play.

It just makes me sick to my stomach that we were close to doing something that would have been very significant and again, we come up just short on it. We had our chances.

The last six years I was (at Oregon), we were a very good football team, and since then they have only had one losing season, ... The continuity there is what turned Oregon into a consistent winner.

At least it showed we had a little backbone.

To see him out here, that part is really exciting.

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.

The learning curve is going to be fast.
