Best excuse to skip spring ball I've ever heard.

They're not going to take any existing scholarships away. We'll have three fewer new scholarships.

We want our fans to enjoy Spartan football home and away. This game fits our new philosophy of playing as many Western teams as possible and USC is the best there is at this point. It will be exciting for San Jose State to play against them.

We're running the West Coast offense whatever that means. We're going to focus on the intermediate passing game. We'll throw it every down if we have to or we'll run it every down if we have to.

We want to be known for the way we play, not what we look like.

I think he's as good a lineman as there is in college football. He plays so hard, consistently. I think an awful lot of Larry and he can do anything he wants in football. I just know there's not an overabundance of guys that play as hard as he does and have the athleticism and want-to that he does.

We really enjoyed seeing our friends have such a great experience.

Rufus is a terrific receiver. James is outstanding. Broussard can be outstanding.

The group is an affirmation that our program is moving in the right direction. It's all part of building a program. It's also a reflection of the NCAA rules that make it more difficult for junior college players to come in and be immediately eligible. We're very pleased with their commitment to academic success and their position flexibility.

We played poorly the last third of the second quarter. In the second half, we got it to 10 points and had an opportunity to get back (or win) the football game.
