It was never a classic, but when you're the away team coming to a place like Fulham then you're pleased to come away with something.

He came to camp in great condition. When Chan Ho left for the Classic, he looked like he was ready for the season.

I was really pleased that my team applauded when Utah State got in because they deserve to be in. They're an excellent team, a very class act and a team that will represent our conference well.

We really figured out where we were as a team coming after the CM game. Our special teams were solid and we had two great kickoff returns. Defensively we played well against some quality athletes. And they were as big a team as we're going to see.

We're really maturing as a team, we know how good we can be. When it comes to ranked teams, (we) need every advantage we can get and they (coaches) have done a great job of preparing us for these games.

We were in it up until the second half when we gave the penalty away. At this level you cannot make elementary mistakes like that.
