built game good home last played
Last year, I thought they played us really well. They played us pretty physical. I think they'll give us a good game. I know they'll be all built up for this one. It's a very big home game for them.

He's a fleet-footed guy, a really smart kid who puts himself in the right places. But it will be important for us to make the game easy for him, and that means keeping the pressure off.

Year by year, they've been getting better and better. I think they're a good program. I know they've gotten some flak for not being any good for a long time, but they've been getting better that last two years.

It was unbelievable. It was wonderful just to get a chance to come in here and play. I don't have too many of them left so I'm cherishing each one.

I hope the next five years will be a little smoother.

It's something we've been working on and preparing for. I'm not too sure how good we'll be at it, but we got the words down at least. I'm not an American Idol contender, I'll be humming along with everyone else.

They just seemed to want it more than we did. We've got to get back to the drawing board.
bring gotten picked prepared quick shots stuff teams throw
They take a lot of shots at you and bring a lot of pressure. Sometimes, teams have picked up stuff and gotten a quick throw out. When they bring all that pressure, we'll have to be prepared for that.

You've been doing it one way your whole career. Then you have to change. But that's the way the year went.
