We improved as the scrimmage went on. In the later part, we played a lot better.

The mistakes will be fewer and fewer as the players get used to the speed, and the pops. We still have a lot of fundamental things to work on. One, we need to work on going full speed. Sometimes people aren't doing that.

Our players are picking up on what we're doing very well. And they're hungry to win.

I think the players will put pressure on themselves to win because they are aware of Norman North's past. As coaches, we tell them to just go out and work hard every down, play to win and have a good attitude. If we do that, we'll win football games.

Our front's solid, we're just not in good enough shape yet, but that'll come. Marcus (Graham) is smart, and, really, an excellent athlete. It's his first year playing football. We're lucky to have him out here. Burgess is such a physical player, and he'll get the ball more on offense too.

We were leaving some holes open underneath. We do a good job, most of the time, of covering the deep ball and stopping any big plays. It's the nickel and dime stuff we need to work on stopping.

They know they can win. But we know we have a lot to work on before Sept. 1.
