On the tempo of practice:
“Especially I thought the kids worked really hard given the heat. I’m not sure what the heat is on this turf right now, but it’s warm. For the guys to work as hard as they did is encouraging. We will push forward and gear up toward Friday’s scrimmage at the Rose Bowl and see if we can’t put some nails in the depth chart at that point.”

On having a tailback-by-committee situation:
I think tailback by himself is more the exception than anything else. It’s just a hardposition to go out there and play every snap. Most teams have two, and a lot have three. We have a lot of guys who are capable of going in there and doing good things. It’s like putting another pitcher in there; it’s a changeup.
