Charles is fine. He's doing well, and he's a key guy for us on defense.

We didn't get rattled by (the dunk) at all. Defense won it for us. The turnovers created a lot of energy, and we play off of energy.

We weren't a very mature team. We got excited to go to a bowl, and forgot to go and try to win the game.

Blocking and pass receiving are going to be important for Jon to sharpen up. Even though he makes good plays for us, there is still a lot more involved than just running with the ball under your arm.

I think we're coming around just fine, and we'll use this week to find out what we need to shore up.

It's better to look for outstanding athletes that are also good people, ... When you don't have a lot of egos, you can get more done. The reason we've made progress every year is because of team chemistry.
