He gives us a lot of versatility. He's not a decoy.
exactly great guys kick
He made a great kick - that's exactly what you want and we had our guys sprinting after it.
decisions department difficult early issues middle million small start title
When he was here, this was small time. We had to go through some very, very difficult times early on. When I first started, the department was over $2 million in debt, there was no one in the (football) stadium, we had issues with Title IX. We had to start from scratch, and there were some very difficult decisions made. Joel was in the middle of that.
appears players system understand week
What I see is a system that's being implemented and every week it appears that players understand it a little more and they play a little faster,

Hopefully we can get Kurt back this week, and get a little more depth there.

He was really playing well and was cranked for this game. He got his foot caught in the turf.
badly earned field game plays spot starting supposed wants
He wants to be on the field so badly and earned the starting spot and just doesn't want to give it up. (He) plays the game the way it's supposed to be played.
moves weigh
He can move. He's very athletic. I don't even know what he weighs. I don't care. ... If he moves well enough, he can weigh 400. He is a giant, though. He makes Kemp look like a little guy.

I grew up a poor kid in Pennsylvania. I went to Nebraska because I saw them play in an Orange Bowl and I wanted to play in that game.
answer broke
I don't have an answer - we broke down in all areas.

I'd like for him to be matched up that way all day. I don't think we'll have that luxury.
fortunate lucky played
I feel fortunate to win. You are very lucky if you don't play well and win. I didn't think we played very well today.
business chancellor cooperation frankly good grateful guys situation supportive unique university
I feel pretty good about (the retirement) because frankly there are not too many guys in my business who can do it. I feel grateful the university has been so good to me and my family. I have a chancellor that has been very supportive of me, and his cooperation on what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. I think that is very unique to have a situation like that.
appreciate athlete effort gifted guys looking message pride send special strong takes team type
(Hampton) isn't the most gifted athlete that we have, yet he takes so much pride in how he plays, he's on every special team and I just thought it would send a strong message to our special-team guys that we appreciate them and that's the type of effort and that's the type of play that we're looking for.
