When you are losing it is easy for people to see the negative side of it but for us it is probably the best system to suit the players we have got at the moment and we are playing it really well,

It's important to get guys that can come in and play early because we're losing so much. But the big thing is the last couple years, it's been hard numbers-wise to get linebackers in here because those guys were starting since they were sophomores. So just our numbers were down.

Even though there was more people, I think our crowd was louder. They've been great for us all season.

Not many expected us to be this good this year after losing Matt Hanley and Jeff Vincent to graduation. People didn't know who we were, and we were running under the radar. We're playing well, and people are starting to take notice.

We made a lot of improvement playing teams like those. My motto was, losing is not bad if you can gain something from it. And we definitely gained something from those losses.

I don't know why people think this game is going to scare us.
