We think we can play with them. We've got to be able to fire off the ball on offense and play good defense. We've also got to be able to run the ball. That's my philosophy.

Everything went fine and we made some progress (during the open date).

We played a lot better on defense against Lyford and our offense is stepping it up.

You can't play defense all night long. You gotta move the ball.

To me, the season starts when we play Hidalgo. You want to win 'em all, but we've played three tough games, and I think we're getting better.
