football gave good learns looked nice offense player room
He looked pretty good. When we gave him some room to run, I think he did a pretty nice job. He's going to be a really good football player once he learns our offense more.
along continue feels good hoping last miss seems
He was going along pretty good there. I was hoping that we would continue with him this last week, but I don't think he'll miss a beat, as long as he feels good, and it seems like he does.
found hour job less low tried wonderful
He did a wonderful job considering he found out less than an hour before the game. We tried to keep it as low maintenance as we could.
catch far position shot spring
It doesn't put you so far out of position you can't catch up. I think come spring time, he'll get a shot to show what he's got.
aggressive goal pads run statement
We wanted to make the statement we can run the ball. In the first scrimmage, we wanted to be aggressive and take it to them. We accomplished our goal of getting pads on pads. We got physical.
aggressive contact initiative pads purpose running today
Today was a make-a-statement day. In the first scrimmage, we wanted to come out and be aggressive and take the initiative with our running game. We accomplished our purpose today in that we got some pads on some pads, had some contact and we got physical.
becomes catch highly reason skilled tap
(Trott) can catch a ball. When he becomes part of our depth, we're going to tap that. We're going to see what he can do. He's a very highly skilled receiver. If he comes around like I think he can come around, I see now reason why.
chance glorified good guys move
You know how no-pads (practices) are -- it's like glorified aerobics. It's not really football, but it's a good chance to see guys move around.
facilitate guy plan pure rather type
We can always facilitate not having a pure fullback. We'd rather have a guy that can give us the type of productivity that (departed senior) Jake Slaughter did, but if we don't, then we'll go to Plan B.
accomplish backs maybe narrow running
We were up 14-0. (We wanted to) see if we can't maul them a little bit, find out who our running backs are, maybe narrow it down. We didn't accomplish it and that is the disappointing thing.
balls early start win
That was my intent. We weren't going to come out and start flinging balls all over the lot. We're not going to put it on him to win the game, particularly early in the game.
appreciate coaches fans offense scoreboard selfless trying
He really is a selfless player. He does things that don't show up on the scoreboard sometimes, but coaches appreciate more than sometimes fans do. The fullback in our offense is a blocker. We are trying to get him in more into receiving.
bowl experience game good next nice prepared pressure time
This is a good experience. It's not a nice experience. But it's a good experience to be in a bowl game and play under that kind of pressure and know now that you've experienced that and the next time it comes around, you'll be better prepared for it.
dime flashes goes good guy kid people stood threw
The kid at times showed flashes of brilliance. He stood in there and threw some passes, put them on a dime with people in his face. Once he goes through those experiences, I think that guy could be a really, really good quarterback.
