All I'm focused on is San Diego State.

I came down here to visit the area.... I saw all the building going on, and I knew it was popping off. What we have enhances the loft home, though people have come from everywhere to visit. But we fit in here.

He's so focused, so disciplined, ... And he doesn't just ask it of us, he lives it himself. He wants it so bad for this program. He's not here for the glory of being 'the BYU football coach.' He's here because he loves this program and he wants to see all of us succeed. He cares about the tradition of winning. He's the type of person that a lot of people on this team want to be like when they're older.

I know I have to do my job for us to win,

If you've got an offense where you're only throwing to two people, you're not using all your weapons like you should. It's called a spread offense, not because the formations are spread, but because the ball's being spread all over the place.

I immediately knew -- it's got to be downtown.

It was hard to walk off that field. But what is done is done. We expect to do better against San Diego State. This team has character. We've improved over last year, we've improved over last week.

It was great tonight. Our big guys up front, hats off to them. They just drove the defense back. Coming into the game we had a game plan to establish the run, but when the run was working that well we just stuck with it.

It's great to start out with a touchdown and get things rolling. Things were definitely clicking at the beginning of the game. That's how we should have looked for four quarters. It's a huge boost to score on your first drive. That set the tone for the game. Our goal is to make every quarter like that first quarter, where we're running on all cylinders.

It's tough to fight back like that and fall short. It's tough to see the seniors end their final game like this, but for us guys that are coming back, it looks like a bright road for us.
