I think certainly the pressure's on Wisconsin. They've been highly ranked all year. They're expected to win the series. We're an eighth-place team that has knocked off some big teams.

There are a lot of much bigger public issues than year 2000 preparedness, and I think that certainly has an impact on the way it has been handled.

He (Bargh) has done everything expected of him and he certainly hasn't been dropped though any lack of form. But there are advantages in having two halfbacks with different styles of play and he (McKenzie) will give us that..

We certainly didn't expect to be in it this year. So it makes it even sweeter.

He's ranked No. 2 (in California), but I think he's going to win for sure. He's really good.

In the past, I don't think it would have affected us that way. We expected to win. We weren't going in there just expecting to compete. I think that really showed how the mentality has changed here.
