It came down to one play against a very good football team. They made the play and we didn't. I would have loved to have a win for seniors and the effort they put forth but I told them they can hold there heads up I was proud of them.
He didn't want to play against us (Boise State). Unfortunately a couple of schools (that he liked) would have played against us.
Hopefully it adds a little spice and adds a little diversity and will be something new for teams to go against as well as fans to see.
You don't like playing against your friends because someone's going to wind up (losing),
There's an opportunity to kind of go, 'OK, we're finally home,' and Portland State, they did a nice job (in a 41-14 season-opening loss) against Oregon State.
If our D-line is going to go against Georgia, they better go against the best we have. We've got to get 'good on good' in order to get ready.
