I think he's played himself into shape and he loves big games, so his focus is a little bit better now.

Weber State is a good fit for me and them because I have ties there and coached in the area. Idaho is a job I've had my eye on for a long time. It's in the Northwest, and I'm a Northwest kind of person. It's now in the (Western Athletic Conference) and that's more appealing to me. With (football coach) Dennis Erickson there, there's an excitement going on.

He's a valuable player because at (his position) he can play on the perimeter. Nick is really good when he has mismatches in the box. And he's really good on the perimeter when he takes the big guy out there.

We're not going to win all 82 games straight. Guys get tired, sometimes we lose our focus. We lose games. But right now we're on top of our game, I believe. We need to continue to do that to succeed. We want to win and be able to go into the break right. You feel better.

It's always in the back of our minds. We need to focus on our first couple of games and deal with those teams before we get to that point.

We have to focus on the next (few) games before the deadline. Our production is ultimately going to decide what decision we need to or don't need to make.
