Neuheisel ON:
On Temple:
"I've watched a couple of games. They're talented, very talented. They play with a lot of enthusiasm and talent. They're defensive front is as good as any team we've seen. As far as what they look like, they look the part. I made mention to the players yesterday that to be a great football team, you have to find a way to win this game. Everything with this experience is to prepare to win."
On reaching the preseason goal of making a bowl game:
"We reached our goal. Our goals will continue to get loftier. Winning the game is the first goal (now). As we practice, we'll be planning toward that."
On what practice will be like:
"We'll end up having 12 practices. But it's not going to be camp. It's going to be game-planning, having fun and getting the young guys in game-like situations."
On not practicing on Friday and Saturday like he intended:
"We weren't sure we were going to be in it. Now that we're sure, if the weather is still poor, we'll go. We're playing now.
On watching the Army-Navy game today:
"I really wasn't paying attention. We're recruiting this weekend, and my focus is on the young man here. Making sure he has a great experience and telling him it doesn't rain here this often."
On the Pac-10 having seven bowl teams:
The Pac-10 is a unique conference in that they have 6 teams with eight wins or more. We have a chance to win seven. You look at the non-conference schedule of the Pac-10 teams and these are all hard-fought games. I think that will play in our favor. We'll do very well in our bowl games."
Hey, Jon, why don't you get back to the trainwreck that is UCLA basketball. Nobody cares what Neuheisel thinks about Temple.
What does Howland think about today's debacle?
JON
CAN U ASK HOWLAND WHY HE HAS SUCH A MAN CRUSH ON DRAGOVIC? AND WHY HE PLAYS HIM SO MUCH PT AND WHY DRAGOVIC THINKS HE'S REGGIE MILLER AND WHY HE DOESNT PLAY ANY DEFENSE AND WHY OUR TEAM IS CRUMBLING?
THANKS
