add best course developing early feeling few fit football given juncture list particular plans played plenty quite since stretch team time week work
There have been at least two years here where we have given the team the whole week off, feeling that we had played plenty of football and that one of the best things that we could do for the team at that particular time was to get it well-rested for the stretch run. Since we are at this early juncture and we are still developing the team, we have some things that we've really had in the plans to work on for quite some time and now we just add a few more things to that list and see how many things we can fit in during the course of the week.

That's the way things go. We all suffer setbacks and disappointments. Whether your team falls behind at the half, or your season doesn't get started until the half, that's just the way it goes.

Marques was pretty spectacular out there today. He can just pick up the team and carry us. That scramble at the end was just a tremendous play.

career college dreams featured gets happen large performers season team
To a large extent, his dreams and aspirations of his college career are going to be packed into one season, and from a team standpoint, it's going to be important that we get a real big season out of him. He's going to be one of the featured performers this year, and is going to have to make things happen when he gets the ball.
bring days defensive fact fast obviously senior talented teams
Obviously this is one of the most inexperienced teams we've had, as indicated by the fact that we only have one senior in the defensive lineup. But we have a lot of talented young players, so they just need a lot of days like this to come on. It's going to be very important that we bring them on as fast as we can.
best eight game giving impossible point quite satisfied team week win
Each team is different. Each team is doing different things at a different level, and each week is a different week. I don't make comparisons, and I think it's impossible to do so. But our team is what it is. It's giving the best that it's got. We're going to try to win every game that we can by as much as we can. If we can do that eight more times by one more point than the other guy's got, I think we'll all be quite satisfied with that.
