We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

We?re going to give away some size up front and that could hurt us a little bit against the more physical team in the league like Wilkes and Lycoming. The question is will we be able to put enough pressure on the quarterback. That?s going to be our toughest problem.

When we drafted him, people said he was probably the most ready for the NHL. But that to me was a bonus. It wasn't something we factored into when we decided to pick him. But he obviously played against men last year and played in the World Championships for the Czech team, and the thing that impressed me when he came in this summer is that he tested like a man in his physical testing. It transfers over to his game on the ice. He's a very mature player.

We have to get a lot more physically and mentally tough. That's a concern.

We have no knowledge who was behind it whatsoever other than that they were abducted by unidentified gunmen in plain clothes. Both the released women have stated they were asked questions and interrogated and say they were slapped around and physically abused.

We have no depth. Our secondary will be tougher than a year ago, because we're big and physical and have quickness. But we've got to get some depth right now.

We have never received this magnitude of funding for physical education or for athletics overall. It was a sacrifice, but it was a sacrifice in my opinion that worked very well because of all the things we gained by calling this wildcat strike.

What the string theorists do is arguably physics. It deals with the physical world. They're attempting to make a consistent theory that explains the interactions we see among particles and gravity as well. That's certainly physics, but it's a kind of physics that is not yet testable.

Whenever you face Southern, you are going to see the same thing. You are going to see physical defense and guys that believe they are going to win, no matter what the score is.

Watching the TCU game and critiquing it Sunday) on tape, we just weren't very physical up front. TCU just outplayed and outcoached us.
