On Thursday's practice:
"Obviously there is a lot to get in when you're getting ready for a game. Dress rehearsals and so forth. You've got all sorts of situations to cover, especially with such a young team. (Practice) took longer than maybe I wanted, especially in this heat. It'[s stuff you got to do, and I'm glad we got it done."

On how much of San Diego State's game plan is installed:
"Less than 50 percent. I don't think you put things in too early, it gets stale. But we'll be ready, and the kids will be excited and we'll execute it well."

On Randall Carroll and Ricky Marvray:
"They've been terrific. They've worked hard. This is a huge culture change, from high school to college. To mature as fast as we're asking them to do is not an easy thing to accomplish. They're buying in, they're asking the right questions, and there energy level is great."
