bad catch days four good rhythm takes three throw throwing
It was a pretty good day for the first day back. Our throw and catch was not too bad for not throwing for a while. We made some really good plays. It usually takes you three or four days to get your rhythm back.
ball catch explore guy nice
It's nice to know you've got another guy who can really catch the ball and do something with it when he catches it. We'll find a way to explore that.
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.
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.
bowl creates display kicking last mentality tail
After that display in the bowl game, we need to get back to hard-nosed, kicking a little tail and doing what we do. You play that badly, you don't just let it pass. I know it's last year's team, but it creates a mentality for the future.
basically believe cannot everybody great head
I'm out of my head about this. I cannot believe we got all these guys. We got basically everybody we wanted. We got some really great players. This is going to be fun.
huge piece
It's huge getting him back. Now we have two threats. We just have to keep him in one piece long enough so he can show what he can do.
coming plan
That's always in our plan once in a while, just to keep the safeties from coming down. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.
finish football offensive played plays poor putting rough successful
It was just a rough way to finish (the season). We just were so poor today. That was awful. We haven't played like that all year. We never got into a rhythm. So much about offensive football is about being in sync, putting successful plays back to back to back, and we just never did it.
compete decisions good gotten next pressure push spring understand
We're going to try to get him where he can compete for the No. 2 spot. It's going to be very important this spring to see him come around and take that next step. From a fundamental standpoint, he's has gotten much better. Now, he's just got to understand the offense, make good decisions and show it under pressure and he can make a push for that spot.
ball early feet felt letting opening plan possibly pressure running throw
Early on, the plan was to try and take as much pressure off as we possibly could by emphasizing the running game. We felt like we could run the ball pretty well. Once he got his feet on the ground, got set a little bit, we started opening up and letting him throw it.
good heck lost momentum time
We weren't too good today. We started out good, but we lost some momentum in there and had a heck of a time getting in synch.
challenge experience position proves starting until year
Right now, Brandon is our starting quarterback and I would never challenge that position at this point. He's going to be our starting quarterback until he proves he can't be. With a year of experience now, he's that much better.
accustomed almost days playing sideline though
I told him on the sideline that there are days where you're not going to be sharp. Those are the days you almost have to will yourself. Even though your not playing the way you're accustomed to playing, you've got to find a way to eke out points.
