Q: After tonight, where is the team at, as far as a progress report of where they should be? Are they ahead, or behind?
A: "I think we're on pace. The new rules this year helped us get on pace, because everybody can start practicing sooner so we should be ahead of where we were last year. And, we are ahead of where we were last year. But, I think we're on pace with where we need to be.
