Mike Cavan's Weekly Press Conference

"It was good to win the football game. The way we won the game will really help us the rest of the season. Being down 14-0, and believing you can still win the football game and scoring 40 unanswered points is really what I'm proud of most."

"David Page did a good job running the team, and our receivers did a good job making reads. Obviously, ShanDerrick Charles is playing really well right now."

"I think he (Charles) is going to continue to work hard in practice and improve."

"Defensively, Kevin Aldridge had a big game for us. He really played well. I hope he continues that the rest of the season for us."

"I think for the day our defense was 69% on forcing three and outs, which is really pretty darn good."

On Nevada

"They have gotten a lot better since last year."

"We are back in the race now and this game is very important. They are all important at this point."

"They have beaten Hawaii, and that's all you need to say."

"We know they are very capable of beating us. They are getting 450 yards a game. They've got the second leading the rusher in the country right now. He is a great running back."

"They have gotten a lot of yards on everybody they have played so far."

"They play two quarterbacks. Last week they were beaten up some with injuries and should be back this week."

"Defensively, they are very capable of having a good game. They've played some good running backs already this year."

"It boils down to who is going to come ready to play the hardest and make the fewest mistakes."
