Self Worth Quotes
There are no utopia jobs on this earth, .. There's nobody out there that can say, 'I've got the ideal job and there are no problems.' If your self worth is based on what other people think of you, you're in trouble. My self worth is not based on them. My self worth is based on my faith, how I treat others, what I'm doing right for this program and these kids and this coaching staff. Other than that, I understand you're not going to please everybody.

Calls Quotes
He's a young player who had not played center; we moved him to center when he got here. He's got excellent toughness and good strength. He is lost right now, learning how to play the position. Centers have to make all the calls and are in charge of a lot, so he's got to learn that and it's going to take some time. He's made very good progress, but he's got a long way to go.

Attention Quotes
We're on the field for four hours anyway. Our games have gone 3:50, 3:40 and 3:30. You want to get my attention and my ire up, let's start talking about shortening the game. To me, this is not smart on our part. We could take some plays out that nobody would miss by running the clock in some situations.

Deciding Quotes
I think in the fall we'll still be in the position of deciding who's going to play what positions for the first two weeks. And then we've got to make a decision one way or the other after two weeks and go with it. And the interesting part will be how quickly any of the freshmen might be able to get involved.

Deserve Quotes
It hurts me, it hurts them. It was my responsibility to get this team ready for this game, and I didn't do that. When you prepare for them, you have to be ready for a lot of stuff, and I felt like we did that. It was just a matter of us not executing. We didn't play well today and didn't deserve to win this game.
-
Adjusting Quotes
I think he's adjusting very well. I know he's had two solid practices, and I think today was the third solid practice. I think that's been a good move for our football team, and it will be a good move for him. It was probably good that we practiced him there some during the bowl practices. That's helped him make the adjustment.
-
Advantage Quotes
We've talked about that game in situations other than this week. We've stressed the need to play 60 minutes and taking advantage of opportunities when we get them. We need to score touchdowns and not settle for field goals in the fourth quarter. That's the type of things we've talked about and that we've used from last year's game and applied to other situations the past 12 months.
-
Couple Quotes
We can. Whether we do it or not, that remains to be seen. But we can. There are a lot of factors that go into taking a good team to the next level. You have to hit all of those and have a couple of other things go right to be able to do what Auburn did last year, go from whatever they were ... to going undefeated. A lot of things have to go right.

Boat Quotes
Those of you who were on the media conference call a few weeks ago might remember that I said that playing this game at SBC Park, the home of the Giants, is very appropriate with the size of Utah's team. After going over to Alcatraz on the boat with those guys yesterday, I haven't changed my opinion.

Game Quotes
We've got to get better in some phases of our running game, get better in some phases of our pass defense, ... Other than that, I sort of knew where we were. I had a feel for where we were before the first game, after the first game, before the second game and after the second game. No major surprises, no revelations, just little things that you work on.
