Pre-game chatter

Coach Kevin O'Neill's pregame locker room address focused on bringing "force, energy, passion and emotion" to tonight's game against California.

"It's a nine game season -- we know it," O'Neill told his players. "We've got to play with our hearts on our sleeves, and that's not just coach talk. It's what we need to do, and we need to start tonight.

"If you say 'if,' you didn't get the job done."
