Q: Everyone has be talking about Boise State's offense for a long time. What aspect of Boise State's game are you going to be the most worried about?

A: Stopping the big plays is always a worry. Boise State has a great play-action package that we must contain.

Q: How is CMU's non-conference schedule made up?

A: Athletics Director Herb Deromedi and I look at the openings in our future schedule. We then look at opponents who have the same openings. Your non-conference schedule is made up several years in advance -- sometimes you schedule weaker opponents that have built their program into a winner by the time you play that opponent.
