Quotes by Jonathan Bailes

“You dont have any choice but to keep fighting. We certainly didnt plan to start out this way. But theres no quit in this team. Like Coach Craft says, this season is a 12-round fight. Weve lost the first two rounds, but weve still got 10 games to go. Whats the sense in packing it in now? The Mountain West championship is still within our grasp. Whos to say we cant finish 10-2?”

“For two rounds, theyve beat us. But we have 10 more games left, so whats the sense in packing it in right now? We want to keep fighting.”

“You cant take away experience. Experience tells it all. We just have to bear with the young guys. Theyre talented, but experience is experience, and I feel like theyre now getting to know what college football is all about.”

“We played to our potential today. I think its definitely something we can build on. On the score sheet, it says an L, but as a progression of growth as a defense, I think its a W for us.”

“The defense were running is similar, but theres different terminology. We just have to get the terminology down and start playing it with instinct rather than reaction, getting it down and soaking it in so that when were out there were not thinking but just playing off our athletic ability.”
