Chan Gailey Guys Quotations

I'm all for guys playing other sports as long as their grades don't fall and they're contributing. If they're not contributing, if they're just sitting there, then they need to be back over here, getting ready to play.

We're working with so many combinations because of all the guys missing, so there was no level of consistency on either side of the ball. We had some great individual plays, but not much consistency. But I think you expect that in spring practice. Neither side should dominate.

You always try to put guys in position to excel and use the abilities they have. I know what he's good at, and that's going down the field and catching balls.

Those of you who were on the media conference call a few weeks ago might remember that I said that playing this game at SBC Park, the home of the Giants, is very appropriate with the size of Utah's team. After going over to Alcatraz on the boat with those guys yesterday, I haven't changed my opinion.

We let our guys have fun and they handle themselves pretty well.

We've worked Chris in there and (sophomore) Travis Chambers in there. We've got some other guys that we've worked as emergency-type guys.

Probably the strongest area of our football team is our defensive line, with guys who have played quite a few plays. We have great expectations for Darryl Richard.

The early church, when they started, they were together. They had unity. They had oneness. And they ended up impacting the world, ... One morning I read that and I said, 'That's just like the game of football.' It's not necessarily that the church had the richest people or the brightest people, but they had unity and they had oneness. A football team, you don't necessarily have to have the biggest and the fastest, guys who can jump the highest and bench press the most, but if you've got unity and oneness, you have a chance to be a champion.

These guys have a tremendous ability to compartmentalize -- put all the junk to the side and play the game. All the other stuff they can't control. What we can control is what happened out there.

We have to continue to improve, ... That's how those young guys learn to play the game. We've been fortunate we can win two ballgames without them being involved in a critical play, but they've got to come on. They can't be behind the learning curve.
