What a good offensive performance and a very poor defensive performance. I thought we were really kind of unconcerned on the defensive end, and that's not like our team at all.

Our defensive pressure wore them down. We got some energy and some focus there with 4 minutes left in the first half. I thought it was a solid effort.

Their offensive rebounds were the back-breaker. You have to give Slaughter great credit. (SDSU) is an extremely talented team and you can't give away so many possessions to them without bad things happening.

Our offensive line did a good job and we had Mitch Bridges back this week. I also thought our defensive front seven did the job. Our linebackers played a lot better this week than they did in the second half and were able to hold a good running back like (Darryl) Vereen down (to 49 yards).

BYU is a good team playing with a lot of confidence right now.

I liked the effort our team had tonight. It was a disheartening game, but hopefully good things will come from it.
