We're not as quick a team as we've been in the past. So I wanted to get a lot of guys in there to force our tempo.

We've gotten to play the kids that haven't had an opportunity to play a whole lot.

We've got a lot of guys out there that think they're All-Americans, but they've got to produce. If they're as good as they're supposed to be, they're gonna have to step up to the plate.

I don't have any doubt that we should be in the top two or three. Every year, whether it's basketball or baseball, it seems like we're picked to be one of the two favorites, so it's nothing new. But that has a lot to do with our pitching.

Our passing killed us tonight.

When we got down 10 or 12, I knew we were in trouble.
