Mike Bellotti Quotations

It's nice to climb back in this Pac-10 race.

We've played on our heels for the last two and a half weeks.

The one thing they could tell me they could hang their hat on was, they had never fired a coach. They had always let him finish out his contract. It's very interesting that the next coach they hired, they didn't allow that to happen.

He's just a fairly natural athlete. I'm actually the most pleased with his hands. He's got a lot to learn on the route running, but he has some natural ability that way. I'm excited.

The athleticism and the size and strength are an amazing package.

But I do think overall they are probably more creative in finding ways to win and supporting each other -- offense, defense and special teams. It's a balanced football team because we can look a lot of places for people who will win this game.

One of the things we'll do with Cameron is look at him at that X position. I think the toughest guy to replace from last year's football team may actually be Demetrius Williams.

I think in all honesty, defense is going to win this game. It's not going to be offense.

We'll be as good as our offensive line allows us to be.

I think that we've probably, more than any other time than I've been here, addressed specific position needs.
