I just wanted to make sure that the team didn't feel like, 'Oh, woe is me' after last week. That's why I gave out the guarantee.

With the new team and all the new freshmen, I thought it would give us a good feel for our staff and what we need to work on for the season.

Somebody's got to pay for that loss and somebody's got to pay for that double team last week. It's sure not going to be me, and it's not going to be us. Whoever is in the way of our goals, whoever is in the way of us getting that W, has to pay.

I'm going to go ahead and say it, this week is the week. I feel pretty confident in our team, our coaches, and we're all working hard. Those guys better watch out because we're coming full-steam.

You feel like we're a team that should've won. I'm sure everybody in the locker room feels the same way.

Each week we've definitely been improving as a team. I feel confident that we're progressing and our record is going to improve the rest of the season. Everybody's really starting to understand the position they play.
