What a great kid Cam is, and what a great part of this football team he is,

As a football player, you couldn't ask for anybody who worked any harder than he did. In the spring of his junior year, every college scout who came through here thought he was ready to go just because he played so hard. It was kind of scary.

We've got two wonderful trainers. They're football people too. If they don't think a kid is really hurt, they're like, 'There's nothing wrong with you. Get out there.' I'm waiting until they say Kevin can come back.

We are doing a little bit of old Oregon Duck football, a little bit of Utah, Bowling Green, Northwestern, a little bit of BYU, Texas Tech passing game from years past, and rolled it all into something we are calling the new Oregon offense. It is something that has been bits and pieces that has been on my desk for about 21/2 years now, and now I kick myself because I think I should have done it sooner.

Youth football is a worthwhile activity for all who participate in it. I'm pleased to see how it is coming together.

Honestly, when Bill and I visit, we don't talk about football as much as we do about our families. He tells me about his three daughters, I tell him about my four daughters. We're both very proud of our daughters. We've both been married to our wives since college. What it shows to me is, even though this business can be difficult on families, we've got strong ones.
