I think we were bigger and stronger in some areas, and we were able to wear them down.

He’s a good player and a great competitor. No one took it (the loss) harder than him. He was really upset.

I don’t think we totally dominated. I think it was a pretty tough ball game until the second quarter.

That really got us going. It was a tight game until the second quarter. What got us going was the interception for touchdown.

Defensively, we flew around pretty good, but I was disappointed with the offense.

We always thought he had great potential. He’s just going to keep getting better and better.

It’s always a concern when it’s a I-AA team that our team might look past them. They’ve got talent. … We have to be prepared.

Right now, they’re leg-weary, both of them. The whole team is a little bit leg-weary.

We think so. We went one-against-one Thursday and Friday (of last week). We went 10 plays where they ran our offense against their defense and then we went 10 plays where we ran their defense...

We just have found a way to screw things up at times.

I don’t blame him. I wouldn’t trade either. … He’s just trying to win a football game.

He’s a good receiver. He’s tall (6-3), 210 pounds and runs well. It will be a real challenge for our defense.

Both quarterbacks had good spots and bad spots.

I think they’re good, quite honestly. I’d liked to have it a little later in the season, but as it worked out, we came away with a 3-0 and a chance to kind of regroup...

That’s the thing that concerns me more than anything is are we going to be ready to play? I keep telling (the players) you don’t stay the same. It’s the old saying, ‘You either get...

I’m really, really happy with three of those kids. Greg Trent is really strong. He just has natural strength and a lot of natural instincts. He can play now. Stripling is going to take a...

When (Mike Price) first hired Eric and then Aaron (Price), I was a bit concerned. But they were both really good coaches. They both gave Mike a ton of crap. … ‘What are you thinking?...

For these guys to come off two losses that were tough losses and play as hard as they did and as well as they did against the No. 12 team in the nation is a...

That’s never happened here that I remember.

Bump’s been doing that all the time. We were going to put him in for one more. He was 11 from (setting) the school record. You know what? He’s got two more years. Records are...

His goal is to play in the NFL, and I’m sure he’ll get the chance.

I know playing two of the three Hawaii games in Honolulu will be something our players and fans will anticipate.

Kids don’t care. Whoever can take them down the field and score and help them win ball games, that’s who they will follow. In talking to one of our players, they said, ‘Coach, this ain’t...

It was a tough decision, because I love both of them.

We got our butt kicked, period. In the first quarter, their speed was something we had never seen.

When we need to get a couple of first downs, we haven’t done it, and when we need to get a stop, get the offense back on the field, we haven’t done it.

I’m always concerned with a I-AA team that our team may look past them.

I would be lying if I didn’t think that was in the back of our minds. It’s like the preseason in the NFL but it’s not. This game counts just like all the rest of...

I think you look for immediate help with the JC kids. They’re more mature. But again, you’d like to have a program primarily of high school kids. But it’s going to become more and more...

Michael, just like any other student at WSU, utilized procedures in place and is currently ready to enroll for spring semester. He is eligible to participate in all football-related activities this spring once enrolled, including...

It does help if we win a little bit, doesn’t it?

We’ve got some depth at defensive tackle and defensive end. But we need a little more depth at linebacker.

Normally, we would have played another Division 1-A (team), hopefully … someone in the middle of the of conference in the Big-12 or Big-10, and I think you would have a little better understanding of...

We have to be able to win in the fourth quarter, and we haven’t done that.

This year, for us, it kind of turned out like the preseason in the pros, you know. They have their three exhibition games, the way it worked out — not that we weren’t trying to...

His leg isn’t quite ready.

Nothing against them, but we improved. It’s our second game and their first. We made adjustments. If we had played each other on the first game, it would have been closer.

He’s a starter in my eyes.

If someone had just jumped off the table and the other guy had fallen on his face, it would have been done a little earlier.

I don’t think Josh lost it as much as Alex just earned it. Alex did a nice job.

I don’t have an answer. Little mistakes give up big plays. You have to finish. You have to have more points on the scoreboard than the other team.

This is all preseason. How good is Idaho? Who knows they might be real good. … What matters at the end of the season is how many wins do you have?

USC-Notre Dame is a good rivalry, but you can lose the game and still win your conference.

Intensity-wise I’m happy with the way they played. The defense was moving all over the field.

Hanging around these and 20-year-old guys, you always feel young.

I think both teams conducted themselves well.

It’s not the end of the world, either. He’s still gotta maintain and keep the position.

Offensively, at quarterback, we’ve got Alex Brink and we’re happy to have him back. Every position is always open, but Alex Brink is our guy.

I was shocked. I thought we could compete better than that.

We’re a bigger, stronger team, and I think we wore them down in the late third and fourth quarters.
