We're hoping before Feb. 16 comes we can wrap this up.

Tyler Emmert is going to come in here and compete very well.

When you look at why this team is 9-0, I don't think it's necessarily because the offense is that much better than it was last year, but I do believe the defense and special teams are better.

We played hard, we played with intensity, we flew around. Were we as sharp mentally? No. Our guys were in a fog. We won, despite ourselves. That's the mark of good team. We're not a great team yet.

They had the momentum at that time. Was it a good call or a bad call? I'm not going to say it was a great call, and I'm not going to criticize it.

We have to raise our level of intensity. I think they'll understand. We have to respond and rebound.
