I didn't like the way we played in the third quarter at all, ... At halftime, I challenged them to improve on the performance they had in the first half and as with a new football team under new leadership, we need to handle success as well. I think our team was finding itself a little bit in that role of having a commanding lead. I did my best to prepare them at halftime.

Cal played an excellent game today and they deserved to win. The end result is we played good enough to lose by seven. The disappointing aspect is it was a loss. The positive aspect is that we exhibited resiliency. We know we could have won that game. We fell short for a number of reasons, but I believe this was a solid beginning to what's to come for this program. And I look forward to getting right back to it after Christmas.

I challenged Angelina during the third quarter. She went out and put up some big numbers in the second half and played well on the boards. She kinda took over the game.

On my headset, our coaches told us it was a fumble. But I trust the replay system. They reviewed it and made the call.

Mike is coming in as a running back, but he will help out the team wherever he can. He is hard to tackle and he is fast and I like him a lot.

I'm extremely excited about this class. The first word that comes to my mind is character.
