They know we don’t have any subs that are as good as the guys that are starting. What they’re trying to do is get us into our bench. So we have to be really, really tough physically and mentally. That’s just the way it’s going to be.” Said something in a similar vein a few weeks ago; that everyone would go for the throat thinking the Huskies are vulnerable.

It’s going to be tough.” [B]Question. [/B]Isn't that the way people played us last year? [/QUOTE]
