I'm going to go work for a Vandal, that's very important.

The kids got after tonight and there was a lot of intensity and good hits. Getting under the lights brings a different atmosphere and it is fun for the kids. We got a lot of good work done.

That's definitely one of the reasons I came back. Anybody who's ever been here for a length of time ends up loving the place. It's just a neat place to coach.

I've got confidence in myself. I've learned a lot of good things from a lot of great coaches. I knew if I surrounded myself with the right kind of players, we'd be able to do some good things here.

It's an opportunity I just couldn't turn down.

It's 14-0 and the offense hasn't even been out on the field yet. It could have got ugly, but it just shows you the improvement of our football program.

It's a smaller community than the greater continent of Los Angeles. More than anything, it's the people.

They are a solid football team. They run the ball 70 percent of the time. It will bring a big challenge to us.

Offensively, you can't give up seven sacks. You can't have nine (sic) tackles for loss. You've got to protect your quarterback better. You've got to run the ball better than minus-4 yards. You've got to be less predictable on second down. They are well-coached on defense. They got after us and they did exactly what you should do.

They already have film of us from last year. They know what we do, and we didn't know what they did until (Monday). So it probably balances out.
