About how they will try to put pressure to freshman QB Andrew Manley, Mack said:
"There are certain times you go after guys. I learned a long time ago, if a guy's a rookie, you go after him. We'll mix up things. We'll mix up coverages. We'll try to confuse him." (HSA)
HSA Note: "McMackin said he has "respect" for the prospect he tried to recruit for more than a year. Manley took an unofficial visit to UH in 2008. McMackin said he had a standing scholarship offer to Manley. In the summer of 2009, UH was pursuing four high school quarterbacks. Each was told a 2010 scholarship would go to the first to accept. That turned out to be Kevin Spain of Arizona. Spain is redshirting this season after undergoing shoulder surgery in August.
McMackin said Manley turned down a second UH offer -- to grayshirt, which would have meant joining the Warriors in January 2011. Instead, Manley accepted a scholarship from the Aggies. Manley is listed as the Aggies' starting quarterback this week."
Praising Manley, Mack said:
"He'll be a great quarterback. He already is for them. ... I have a lot of respect for him. He's a good kid, too." (HSA)
About how they are expected to aggressively blitz against NMSU, Mack said:
"We're going to go after his tail. We're going to come after him every way we can. Not because he's Andrew Manley. Because he's a freshman quarterback. I'd go after any freshman quarterback." (HSA)
About how he hopes that Nevada wins so that they can be WAC co-champions, Mack said:
"I cheer for Nevada all the way. I hope they kick (Boise State's) tail because (should the Warriors beat the Aggies) that would make us co-champions. On our rings, we'd just put 'champions' because 'co' is too many letters." (HSA)
About how he needs to average 95.33 yards per game in their last 3 games to pass Nate Ilaoa's rushing mark for UH, Alex Green said:
"I'm not thinking about that. I just want to help the team win." (HSA)
