Obviously with a young team, the more time the better and we don't have a lot of time. It gives us a stepping stone in finding out what we need to improve.

We're very excited with the progress we've made in a short period of time. Our goal is to be a competitive program as soon as we can, rather than waiting.

There are only a few advantages we get by not playing any games. One of them is having the other team not know who we're starting or what we're doing. So, we're going to hang on to that advantage.

I was probably more excited for this game even than the Texas Tech game because of the crowd, energy and excitement.

There's only so much you can accomplish in practice. We accomplished all that. And we made it through as a team, and still like each other.

You could tell there were definitely nerves, jitters. The only way to get over that is to play games.
