Weirdly two things that an O-lineman needs.

Mac: "Kenneth Olugbode played last year at 206, he now at 220. Much stronger, much more physical."

Mac: "We'll move Nelson around and find a lot of different ways to get him the ball and get him good match-ups."

MacIntyre told the Pac-12 Networks crew that some of the veterans came to him and said there was almost a fight in a locker room, “Some of the guys were saying ‘we’re gonna go 8-4’ and some of the other guys said ‘who is going to beat us?'”

Mac: "We've gone from 'can we beat them' to 'can they beat us?'"

— RK (@RyanKoenigsberg) July 30, 2015

"We've gone to can we beat them?.. to can they beat us?"

Kenneth Olugbode: "When I first got there, it was hard to call people out but now it is not personal, it is for the team."

Nembot says his teammates know he doesn't drink, they ask him to come out because they know he'll be there to diffuse any situations.

Olugbode on Leavitt's presence: "Right when he steps on the field, no walking anymore. We're moving."

— Adam Munsterteiger (@adamcm777) July 30, 2015

Nembot: "I always talk trash. It's a powerful way to get into somebody's mind without even having to touch them."

— RK (@RyanKoenigsberg) July 30, 2015

He added that he talks trash in different languages too. Nembot speaks English, Spanish, French, and nine different African dialects.

So what did we learn at Pac-12 Media Days? We learned that Stephane Nembot is a large, large human being. We already knew that, but we learned it again.
