Monday Press Conference- Week One

Yesterday, Coach Rod gave his first game week press conference as the team prepared for the season opener vs. Utah. Coach Rod said in his opening statement, "We're obviously excited to play a game. I think our players have a little bounce in their step because we are in game week. They have it put a lot of work in. I think we still have got a lot of work to do. I still have a lot of question marks coming into the game Saturday, particularly because we have so many guys playing for the first time. But the guys that put in a lot of work, I think everybody in the program is ready to go against another opponent. We know what the challenge is in front of us and hopefully we'll be ready."
