With the commodities we had coming in to help me, something had to give. That's always the toughest part of the job, because those other guys are great coaches.

If they were thinking Luke was going to be quarterback, then they were probably thinking we weren't going to be as effective throwing the ball. We wanted to throw them off and get them confused on defense, and it was effective on those first couple of plays.

We know the defense had to play hard because we were going with two different quarterbacks. We needed them to step up, and we're pleased with their effort, especially against a set we haven't seen. It was a great adjustment by our kids.

I've watched a lot of film (of the Jays last season) and I've been around Drew now for quite a while, and I like a lot of the things he's doing. I thought the schemes he ran last year were very good.

We have a huge task going into Warsaw. I've never went to Warsaw and had an easy game. It's a great football tradition, and we're expecting another big battle.

We had a motto this week of 'start fast and finish faster,' and our kids really bought into it.
