I want to be in the game. When the last minute is on the clock I want to be in the game.

If we do (lose consecutive games to start the season) I have a bad feeling about the whole thing around. We will be staring that zero in the face.

We tried to get a schedule with teams we could compete with.

We are going to have different variations of the same offense we have been running.

You don't want a schedule that's too soft and then you go into a tough district like we are in and you get mowed. Well I think we were getting mowed over all year long so we had to build some confidence around here.

We are better with pass protection this year because the offensive line is a little quicker.

They are stepping up to the plate. We need to work with their aggressiveness and get-ting into live action.

We need success early (in the year). I don't care who it has to be either.

Right now the number one thing for us is to win a ball game.
