Opening statement: "... we feel pretty good about our preperation for Colorado."
On fixing special-teams mistakes during the off week: "... execution of the snap, hold and kick on point-after attempts has been setting us back a bit."

On the team's confidence: "It's good, and that's the way it ought to be."
On who is playing well right now: "... we've had kids step up in all three areas of the team..."
