On having the bye week now:
“It’s really good for us; we’ve been working really hard out here, and I’ve noticed during games that we’ve kind of been losing technique. We’ve been more worried about the game plan. This week is good for us; we can work more on technique and not so much the playcalls.”

On preparing for Stanford with an extra week:
“Stanford is a really tough team, and just getting in the room to watch film – maybe not do so much of the physical stuff – will prepare us. You get to sit in meetings and work with coaches a little extra. This week will keep us on task.”
