About the UNLV game, Mac said:
"It was a hard-fought ballgame, and UNLV, I give them full credit for winning the ballgame at the end. It was a heartbreaker for us, because we played hard, but you've got to give them credit because they finished and did a good job." (NS)
Asked how a mid-week game changes their team's preparation schedule, Mac said:
"We try to have a actual game week before the game, so Wednesday will become Saturday, Tuesday will be Friday, and you go on back in the week, so that's what we're going to do. You have an actual game week." (NS)
About how their offense has improved since last year, Mac said:
"I think we have to continue to get better, but last year we were struggling at quarterback and receiver, and I think we've got everything going in the right direction. We've got some receivers, and Greg (quarterback Greg Alexander) is getting better with the system, and our system is one that you continue to get better on. I'm really thankful that we're doing well this time of the year because there are just more reps involved. (Offensive coordinator) Ron Lee and all the rest of our offensive coaches have done a good job." (NS)
Asked how Alexander differs from Colt Brenna, Mac said:
"Colt, he could run around, and Greg will run around north and south, but he's got a stronger arm. He's bigger type of guy -- a 6-4, 6-5 type of guy. But I don't know if we'll ever have another Colt Brennan. But he's running the offense really well, and he's a tough guy so he's a good leader. I have a lot of respect for him." (NS)
About Alexander's supporting cast on offense, Mac said:
"It's just a matter of getting team reps, and our supporting cast -- our offensive line is doing a good job, and (assistant coach) Gordy Shaw has been a great addition to our coaching staff. I think (Alexander) is complimented by -- we've got about six to eight receivers, and we're playing five of them, and they're really doing a great job. Greg Salas, and Rodney Bradley is a recruit from Texas, and then Kealoha Pilares -- all three are getting big numbers." (NS)
