Jim Mora

Consistency of assignment, executing assignment, energy

(Tracy) is fearless, he’s aggressive, he has confidence in the ideas that they come up with as a staff

Kenny hasn’t been home in two weeks

I’ve had the concerns for quite a while

Now what has to happen is you have to take the work from the practice field to the game

I’m letting Kenny do it, but Kenny and I have worked together for a long time

I agree with the fans, first of all: I want fewer yards and a lot fewer points

These extra days have been really good for us

They’re balanced, and they score points and get a lot of yards

The biggest change really is Kenny calling the shots

I just want to see us improve (defensively) in all aspects, really

(Hauss) is doing very well

Very, very disappointed locker room, but they’re not frayed

You can’t coach football as long as I have and not be in these situations, and you look for certain things

(Robinson) runs hard

Tyson was relieved of his play-calling duties

He made the decision on his own to leave the field

(McClendon) was put in a very difficult situation tonight, and he responded well, and the players responded well

It’s about the challenge of going out and playing a good football team and trying to play our best and help our players play their best

Told the whole team last night: The No. 1 thing that you do in a situation like this is be your own toughest critic

We have a great opportunity this week to come back to Canvas and play in front of a good crowd

I wish I could answer that question for you because that would help me and everyone else

(Hejny) was in treatment after the game, he was in treatment most of the day yesterday (and) he’s going to do everything he can to be ready to play

(Curry) is a special young man

There’s a lot of confidence in Darius that if he doesn’t get a maximum amount of reps, he can still go out and perform

As a team, in terms of learning and understanding what happened against (BYU) and why it happened, we’re in the process of making the adjustments we need to make as a staff

Mickey’s a football coach

Nothing gets by Mickey

You can’t worry about (it), guys are gonna get, you know, dinged up in football

He got poked in the eye, and he was cleared to come back

There’s a lot of clues that I see that tell me that we’re going to be a successful football team, a very successful football program

I have a ton of regard for Kalani and have known him (for) a long time, and you know that his team is going to be tough

He’s, like, 6 (feet), 3 (inches), 230 (pounds), so he’s as big as most linebackers in the country

The great thing about these young men is there’s no entitlement

Big plays are great, love big plays

I don’t like it when it’s happening

I was not happy with the way they split our defense a couple times for big gainers

He appreciates everything

We have to enjoy this for 24 hours, and then we need to get to the next challenge

That one’s behind us

They run a unique triple-option scheme

We need to just be able to adjust a little bit quicker

Let me tell you what (Vick) did better than the three touchdown catches — his blocking was outstanding down the field

Looking across the field and seeing 17,500 students … seeing them storm the field, you know, and celebrate with their classmates, that’s what college football is all about

It is my experience, that the best thing you can do with any game, so that you avoid ups and downs during a season that you see with teams, is to keep it about us

They’re tough; they’re physical; they’re disciplined; (and) they play smart football

We will let (fans) know when we ultimately decide for sure, which will be sometime right after kickoff

There is no top to the mountain

As a team, in terms of their attitude, they’re understanding what it is going to take for us to be successful
