The opener is always very difficult every single year. It Really doesn't matter whom you play. The opener is difficult because you've got more time to prepare for one game than you do any game the rest of the year because you've got all spring, all summer to prepare for this opponent.

All we can do is evaluate what we see in practice.

Any time you have coaching changes and things like that, you go and study everything.

I think continuity is a good thing. But change is sometimes good, too.

To be an overachiever you have to be an over believer.

I love the Bowl system. I've always been a proponent of the Bowl system. I think it's been great for college football, for this level.

Play within the system. Be a decision maker.
