Hopefully with student support we'll be able to grow it every year.

We're just getting a ton of reps. Sometimes if you get caught without a backup you just keep going and going and going. He's really telling us if we can fight through that and play hard and still play fast, when we get in the game when it's slower paced we should do great in the fourth quarter, because that's when a lot of games in the Pac-10 are won.

Guys are saying, 'Hey, we're willing to give anything a try. And Coach Willingham is exactly what we needed. He has provided a calming hand.

He talked to us about that game and how that really springboarded their season. This could be the same type of game against a team like Cal that is ranked in the Top 20.
