-Rocky said that the team is banged up he hopes they don't lose their edge. Overall, though, he's happy about the bye week.
-The team will do one-on-one drills for the first time since fall camp. The team will also spend about 15 minutes for Wyoming prep in practice compared to about 40 minutes during game weeks.
-Rocky said the team gained confidence after the Fresno State win and that's what has led to the steak.
"On MW POW sweep: Everybody knows that they're good players. "
-Hageman's 54 yarders could have been good for 64 yarders, "but not at sea level".
-Rocky said some critics are saying he's too conservative, using Hageman instead of not going for it on 4th downs as much.
-Rocky also said SDSU's 3rd and short and 4th and short struggles this year should be much better. CSU held SDSU to a field goal in the first half after three rush attempts inside the five. The Aztecs went for it on 4th and 1 in their opening score at the goal line, however.
-"The offense should have an advantage on 3rd and short," he said. "One of the reasons we went for it on 4th and short was to prove to your players that you can do it. Whenever you get a chance to put them in those situations and make a statement that you can make it on 3rd and short and 4th on short you try it."
Said team will have to convert in more critical situations later this season during a drive where they have to run the clock out or go down the field for a game winning drive.
"It's all about the line of scrimmage," he said. "It's the big boys up front that decide it."
-Rocky said the team is not deep one the defensive line or linebacker, and that an injury or two could really hurt. Same could be said about the offensive line even though Robert Craighead is a solid sixth man to bring in.
-"Rocky said that if DJ Pumphrey's a second round draft choice, "I'm going to tell him to leave."
-On if it means the offense will remain the same next year if Pumphrey returns: "If he comes back, there will be no reason to change the offense. There might be otherwise."
