team hard-work player
Everybody has a role on the team, and some have a role as a scout team player. They have to emulate the offenses that we are going to face. Those players still have to go through the out-of-season work and they work hard.
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.
guys hard secondary
We were on some of our secondary guys pretty hard this week.
block establish hard pressure run time
Obviously, we couldn't block them very well, you could see that. We couldn't establish the run and had a hard time with pressure off the edge.
coming empty hard home time
I'd have a hard time coming home to an empty house. That would be very hard for me.
difficult hard pressure quick scheme shotgun
But he's in the shotgun and a lot of it is quick releases. A lot of it is sprint-outs, where it's hard to get to him anyhow. They've devised a scheme where it's difficult to really pressure him. You're not going to get many sacks.
backs games running win
When we win big games, our running backs play well.
beaten football good
We were beaten by a very good football team.
beaten both football good great penn sides solid team
We were beaten by a good football team today. They're solid on both sides of the ball. My hat's off to Penn State, they're a really great football team.
use using-me committees
Most search committees use me.
memories kids games
I love bowl games. I really do. I like it more than the kids do. I grew up a poor kid in western Pennsylvania, and I went to Nebraska because I saw them play in the Orange Bowl and I wanted to play in a bowl game. I cherish the memories.
player hype people
This bowl has lived up to all the hype that I heard of it. Coaches...that have been here rave about the hospitality, rave about the venue and all the activities for the players. The people here have been marvelous. The bowl committee has bent over backwards to make sure that our stay is an excellent one. The players have something to do if they choose every day. You couldn't find a better place.
underestimate
We did not underestimate what we could do,
fighting winning games
We hadn't lost morale. But when you fight for four quarters, it's tough to always bounce back. The offense kept us in the game the last two weeks and to get out with a win feels really good.
