We've played quite a FCS game almost every year over the past 5 or so years. You guys are a really good team, and represented well. We played 8 different D linemen about equal snaps this game-meaning they were fresh all game. 4 of the 8 are locks for the NFL and 2 of the others will probably make it as well. I actually thought your QB did a great job extending plays and finding open men. I don't know if you heard coach Whittingham on the post game--he was PISSED we didn't get more than 1 sack and 1 turnover--but you guys didn't many make mistakes that we could capitalize on.

Experience with Whittingham tells me not to read too much into that. He is a stickler when it comes to being focused on the opponent at hand-as evidenced that Utah has lost one OOC game since joining the Pac. My take on Whit not playing anyone who isn't 100% is that at the time there were only 2 projected starters who were known to be injured and he was most likely referring to them, and also that Whit isn't going to risk a long term injury to a key player that would hurt us in conference play. I don't think there's much of a chance that Utah overlooks ND, but we are dealing with 18-21 year old kids who are tough to keep on task.

My gut says, I don't think he will. Whit said anyone who is not 100% won't play, and Hansen was 80% last week. And by Whit, I mean coach Whittingham. I just assume everyone knows who our coach is
