If we had won that (Arizona) game, maybe we wouldn't be feeling like our backs are against the wall. But I feel like our backs are against the wall as far as our team taking care of business on the road. We need to go into these games ready to compete.

Our practices are brutal. We set up every drill to be competitive. We have to have a winner or loser or you're going against the clock. We're always putting them in situations like that.

Our backs have been against the wall all year. We were put in a situation where it was a must-win for us today. They knew in the back of their minds what was at stake.

This was a great game for us coming off what happened against Oregon State.
