QUOTES
UM Head Coach John Paul
On playing everyone…”We really upgraded our schedule this year, so unlike past years when we’ve had plenty of games where everyone can play, this year we struggle to find time for everyone. It was great to see some of the young guys step up and do some good things.”

On BYU tomorrow…”We probably won’t have Tommy (Burns) back yet, but they are banged up as well. Either way, it’s going to take our best game of the year to beat them, but I have a feeling we’re finally ready to step up. It’s going to be an intense game. I really feel it’s a turning point for us.”
