I don't think we played real well up front at times last week. If we play that way this week it could be a long night. It's a challenge, but this group seems to respond well to challenges.

We really haven't played well the last two weeks. I haven't seen that same energy we had week one and that's a concern for me.

They're a very good team that had a bad week last week. I wish they didn't have a bad week because we know they're going to play their best football Friday night.

I think this week a lot of things will unfold that could surprise people. I don't think anybody in their right mind could predict the outright champion.

They have one guy that committed to Cal for good reason. I don't want to fuel the fire, but he may not be the best guy. They've got two other guys that are also very good.

It's a battle as a coach and a player. Just getting to Friday nights are hard. It wears you out. Sometimes you have to reach down deep and get a little more to pull you through. And this is only the first week of league.

When you get to weeks six and seven, the team that is still getting better each week, committing less turnovers and making less mistakes, is the team that's going to win league. The teams with the best records right now may not be the best teams and I'm saying that about our guys too.

That score just jumps out at you. I've never seen that.

The biggest thing is we're definitely not looking at them as an 0-2 team. They've had some tough breaks in both their losses and they definitely could have won both their games.
