It's a great test out of the blocks, but we need to play that kind of game.

We've got a great core of players returning.

We're going to break it up so each side has 11 starters ? we could have a No. 1 right tackle next to a No. 2 right guard on the same team.

We feel the immediate improvement will be greater numbers of African-American students this fall. The long-term impact will be better recruitment and graduation rates.

I believe we would miss an opportunity if we did not take a real good look at why there is an absence of African-Americans.

They don't like tagging people, but they have got to learn to tag so that's good. It teaches assignments. From lining up formations, to play calls, to line calls and snap counts, you have to learn.

I'm sure that will be an exciting day in Cedar Falls.

We'll obviously have our hands full in (that game) and any game being part of the league we're in.

We had eight games last year that were decided by seven points or less, and every one of those games had a special teams play that was significant in the outcome.

We have enough clothes right now, but we don't know exactly what we're going to do. But, people from New Orleans are strong people. We've been through a lot, so we know how to deal with things and, hopefully, we'll be able to pull together and work as a team, and do what we have to do to in order to survive.
