We'd like to play a game with no turnovers and keep the other team from big plays. If we can get into the fourth quarter, anything can happen.

I see a lot of hard luck. I'm sure they're saying the same thing about us. They have some really outstanding receivers. They have the kind of players, if you're not focused on them, and if you don't game plan for them, who could really open the game up with some big plays.

At this point, we're not really worrying about Berkeley. We have a number of other issues through injuries and trying to replace people. We're kind of drawing back right now and trying to get people ready.

If we can't learn to execute and tackle better, we're going to get into a vicious cycle.
