They get down and dirty. It's kind of The O'Reilly Factor of football.

The guy is a heck of a football player,

That's the game of football. That's what you call momentum. We weren't able to get it back. It's an entire group loss, offensively, defensively and special teams.

At football practices the coaches and the players are really into it. The coaches are very hands-on and teach the game. The practices are very up-tempo.

The main reason for doing it now ... had more to do with the players. This is a great group. This particular group has really worked hard to prepare themselves. And we have a chance to have a good football team.

Reminiscing: No one knows ... until you live it, to be there, to tee it up each week, to get yourself ready, the players and whatever else.... I think it's a very, very difficult, tough and demanding job. And to be able to, particularly, stay at the level of expertise that we have over the years. Along with the fact that we have made football a presence at BYU. I think those are the things that are about as satisfying as anything that has happened. Then, of course, the players.... I think the thing that will be the most difficult is leaving the relationships and the involvement.
