The other team had a lot more Afro-American players than we did and they ran a lot faster than we did.

We've prepared on the court to get better as a team and subtly, without telling the players, did breakdown drills that were point-specific to both (CSU and TCU). We gave each of the kids a DVD of the last game against both teams and had them look at it. I know we'll be ready to play.

We had it in our grasp and we let it slip away.

It's up to us to go out and play 60 minutes of the kind of football that I think this football team is capable of playing. . . . They've got some great players, but I think we've got some great players, too.

We had another breakdown in the kicking game, which really has me baffled. That was big, not being able to take advantage of those turnovers. (Utah) did.

You know what's interesting? There is a much higher percentage of African-Americans at the speed positions than there is in society as a whole. I wonder if that's genetic, or mostly genetic.
