Quotes from Mac from the Star-Bulletin

HSB Note: "Richard Torres has an appointment to see a doctor today for his pulled hamstring. McMackin said the hamstring was tight entering the game and the staff took him off of special teams duty. But it tightened up in the first quarter. His loss forced the defense out of a package designed to contain the option."

Praising Alex Green, Mac said:
"We know he's an outstanding running back and had a real good game. We've been waiting for him to be able to block also and he's at that point now." (HSB)

About Jovonte Taylor's 109-yard game, Mac said:
"It's good to have that speed on the field. Obviously when we lost Rodney (Bradley) that hurt, but it was good to see him come along because we need playmakers and he made a big play for us and helped us." (HSB)

About the mistakes that cost them in the game, Mac said:
"I think the guys were mentally ready to play and they were focused and together. And it comes back to making those little mistakes. We got a high snap and a 7-yard punt when we were trying to back them up. We make some of those young, inexperienced mistakes and we just have to keep coaching and working." (HSB)

Praising Utah State QB Diondre Borel, Mac said:
"Even though they didn't win a lot of games last year, we knew he was a guy that was really good and he played really good against us (in Utah State's 30-14 win). He's a guy that can run and throw the football, probably throws the ball a little better than Colin (Kaepernick) does." (HSB)
