We just got beat in every phase of the game today. They are a much better football team than we are.

It certainly set the tone for the second half. I surely don't want to say that was the only play that affected the outcome of the game, but we've got to be able to get off the field on third and long.

Anything that can help the game, I'm for. Provided it doesn't make the game significantly longer.

He's always had a strong arm, but as far as knowing where to go with the ball, dealing the ball in time and just other things that make up quarterbacks, I've seen more of a growth in that area.

We're not deep enough, but we're deeper than we were last year. We've just got to keep addressing depth in recruiting and the development of the players that we have.

It's better to be counting on freshmen at receiver than on the offensive line.

Football got taken away from him for a while.

We knew that Allison was a big-play guy from all the reports that we had read, and we've got to make plays on the deep end. A couple of times we didn't today, and whenever you don't do that, it costs you.

Right now we're preparing like we're not going to have him. The most important thing for him is to take care of his family. That's the top priority.
