figure focus further good guys hope late mix smart talk
We don't talk about that. To be in the mix is good this late in the season, but I hope our guys are all smart enough to figure out it's about (Purdue) this week. All the focus is on this week, and no further than this week.
beaten both football good sides solid team
Well, we were beaten by a very good football team today. They are very solid on both sides of the ball.
great guy trophy
We've had great ones and we've had Heisman Trophy winners. This guy is special, and I think he showed that.

When they change formations . . . two or three times, every time there's a change, there's a different communication that comes out,
front goal line sees somebody three year
We probably had three this year where he sees nothing but goal line in front of him and a lot of yardage, a big hit, and somebody dives and just nips his toe. But he'll get some of those before the year is over.
athletic both bunch chance win
We didn't play particularly well and still had a chance to win both of those games. They're very athletic (teams) and they do have a lot of speed, but we're not a bunch of slugs in this league.
beat good half throwing tyler
Tyler can beat you with his feet. We didn't give him a lot of throwing opportunities, but I thought the one just before half (to Randle El) was well-anticipated. I thought (Donovan) did some real good things.
coach deserve effort emphasize entire focus football fullest great guarantee hard immediate players share team tremendous worked
I think it's very important to emphasize that my immediate focus is to coach the 2005 football team and coach them to its fullest potential, ... The thing that I share with the players ... that I would guarantee them that they will have a great effort and great preparation and tremendous focus from myself and our entire staff. They deserve that because they've worked so hard in preparation for this season, and we will not let them down.
backs game last physical respect spread stop week
It's going to be a very physical game, a game where you're going to have to take on linemen and stop very outstanding backs and then still respect the throw. Where last week was you're spread all over the field, this is a little more conventional.

It's our responsibility to help prepare them for when their playing days are over whether it's when they finish playing for us or when they finish playing at the next level. The best way to do that is have someone who has experienced it. The point comes across much clearer than a coach talking to you or even a parent doing the same thing.
athlete carried coach gifted himself knew question
Darrell was a coach when he was here - he carried himself like a coach on the field. He always thought like a coach. He wasn't a gifted athlete but he always knew where to go with the ball. I don't think there was ever any question what he wanted to do. He was going to coach some day.
blame calling fault flat gave kicked swift three
I'm going to take the blame on that one ... because I called the swift kick. We should have just kicked it deeper. We flat out gave them three points. It's my fault for calling it.
