Coach Sean Lewis:
Homecoming week..really special
Win at Fresno State…a unique journey
Keep roster intact is important
We are excited
Flipping program..not surprised..character we have
Work works..finds solution …
This is Aztec fast
Offensive line-growth-continuity this year
We had 7-8 different combinations last year
Biggest piece keeping all 5-healthy
Christian Jones took great strides as a LT in one year-has great length
3-inside guys are big humans..big people beat up little people
Joe Borgon weathered injury obstacles..emotionally-mentally tough
Our bookend tackles are special
Speed-conditioning is everything we have
We invested in alot of special equipment for our weight room
Strengths coaches work with each guy individually
Build specific needs of each player with our strength coach
We created alot of culture in that weight room
We do sports science…we peak them at max value at right time
Strong guys are more resilient-they don’t break
Gabe Placencia-25 field goals in a row…’hefty lefty’
It is uncommon what he is doing
Secret weapon-such fortitude-concentration
Special teams coaches-wear different hats
Need knowledge of schemes-protection
Alignments are huge for Placencia
Let my special team coaches deal with him
Defense metrics…we do things really well
Brilliantly boring basics
Passion-Pride-Connection
Lucky Sutton-growth-worked tremendously..proven it
He gets stronger as the game gets longer
He has become a workhorse
Moments never too big him
He finishes run-great physicality
Play to our standard each week
Embrace the hard…higher you climb..higher the challenge
They have done the training-now learned hard lessons we have learned
Wyoming has strong inside run game-they dictate on schedule
Stay ahead of the schedule-downs and yards
We must stop the run
Put them in passing mode
Won Border War game with Colorado State
They are starting to play well-very physical
This will be a trench warfare game
QB-Kade Anderson has built a lineup to fit his game
Believe we now have ‘Home Field Advantage’..fans fired up
We embarassed the program last year
Now there is a buzz in building and on campus
There is leadership in Athletic Department..seems greatness everywhere
We have ambassadors everywhere
Feel it every single day.
