Jonathan Smith on Gov. Brown's reaction to football returning

"This game means a lot to me & to Oregonians. There's no question it's disappointed this is how the season is starting. This is something I'm passionate about, and I know I'm not laughing about it," Smith said. "We have some great people in this conference and at Oregon State that will be making those decisions in coordination with health officials."

Smith on staying motivated and keeping his team motivated

"We're missing the game so much that it's a huge motivation to be ready to go when they give the all-clear. I'm motivated by the fact that we didn't get spring ball and that's we've pretty much watched and broken down all the film from then. If you ain't motivated to get out there and give it your all given the competition we have in the conference, you're in the wrong business."

Smith on what he's telling his players

"We're always learning. We know that there's going to be an end to this thing... we may not know when that is, but we'll get the guys back and we'll get to play football again eventually. The unknown is massive, but we're going to just keep working hard and doing the best we can to be in the most prepared position to open the season. We don't know how long this tunnel is but we know that there's a light at the end of it."
