NOTES

-On the Oregon loss: "We were either giving them too much respect and playing too soft in coverage or you know basic fundamental techniques weren't there when they have been all year...we got to go out there, we got to execute especially in those big moments."
-"We were on script for what we wanted to do and we just kind of lost it that third quarter."
-Bray stated he was happy with Gevani McCoy's progression through the first few weeks of the season
-On Pac-12's expansion: good news, but has no bearing on what they want to accomplish this season
-Van Wells, Darrius Clemons, and Skyler Thomas should all return from injury this week.
