Colorado Head Coach Mike MacIntyre (Cont.)

On the Isaiah Oliver – Michael Gallup Matchup “That was worth the price of admission, it sure was. Gallup’s a heck of a player and Oliver’s a heck of a player. It was fun to watch. The one long catch they had, we had a miscommunication. But, that was a good job by then on what they did on the routes.”

On Steven Montez’s Mobility “That’s his added dimension he’s able to bring. He made that throw to Shay [Fields] and he hit Shay on another one, that was a big first down. That was a huge play for us. Another big play for us was when we were backed up on our eight‐ yard line and he scrambles out and hits Jay [MacIntyre] on the sideline. That got us out of a hole. We didn’t score on that, but they could have gone right down there and scored because they would have had the ball on the 45‐yard line going in with momentum. To me, that was a momentum‐ changing play.” On Thought Process Rotating Three Kickers “Kickers. All of them have done a good job and we just wanted to see how it went. I think they’ve got good legs. I think, for the most part, we did the right thing on it and we’ll just keep working with them.” On Message To Team Postgame “You’re either getting better or you’re getting worse, nothing stays the same. We’re going to go back, look what we’ve done and improve. We’ve got a lofty goal ahead of us that I believe we can do. We have to keep pushing ourselves. We’ll do that. We’ll be a much more improved team next week. I’m excited about what this team can do.” On Passing of Friend Will Rutledge “A very good friend of mine passed away on Wednesday, Will Rutledge, Jerry Rutledge’s brother. He battled pancreatic cancer. He had belief and faith in Christ. He was supposed to live 60 days and he lived for 14 months. He sat in the box with my wife at last year’s game and he was supposed to be here this year and he passed away Wednesday. I know he’s watching from above and cheering us on. I want to honor Will and how he lived his life and his Christian example.“

ON THE DEFENSE BEING STRONG DESPITE THE LOSS OF Colorado Players (Cont.) KEY PLAYERS‐“Oh I think it does a great job for our confidence in ourselves as a defense, I mean going through the whole offseason, hearing about how many guys we lost DB Isaiah Oliver and how we’re not going to be as good as we were and this ON HIS MATCHUP WITH MICHAEL GALLUP‐“Oh yeah most and that so being able to come out here and show the world definitely, he’s a great receiver.

ON HOW WELL TREY UDOFFIA PLAYED ‐“Oh he played ON FIRST GAME JITTERS ‐ “It was a great experience for me. I great, I mean for his first start in college football I know he got my first game jitters out so next game hopefully I’ll be was nervous before the game, talking to me about it and better.

Like I said before, if all 11 guys are watching film, he knows everything about the defense, on the same page, we can’t be wrong. That was our biggest everything about CSU’s offense so he knew what was thing going into the game. I see no challenges. We have so much coming before it happened. He was able to prepare us to do talent and so much opportunity to get better every week and the same thing so we knew what they were going to run every day.

But I got those jitters out Pac‐12 and he can run as well. He does a great job using his and came back with a sack so it’s good.” hands and trying to use his big body to get in front of DBs like that so he has a bright future ahead of him.”

ON HOW PRESURE ON NICK STEVENS HELPED HIM ‐“Oh it could make all the difference in the world, I mean if you get a good pass rush on every passing play, you don’t have to cover for so long. So having those guys play as well as they did, made it a lot easier on the secondary as a whole. We only have to cover for three or four seconds, I mean you could cover just about anybody so hopefully we can keep that up all year and I think we can have a great year.”

ON INFLUENCE OF CHIDOBE AWUZIE AND TEDRIC THOMPSON‐“Oh I’m sure they are very proud and I know they were probably nervous watching the game just as nervous as us. I am sure they are proud of us, they know how hard we work to get here, while they were here and while they were gone so I know that they are just happy for us that we played as well as we did.”
