correct game mistakes plan team totally type week
You have to correct mistakes and just show where we had breakdowns. A lot of it was communication. That's something that we'll have to correct and go back to fundamentals. You've got a totally different game plan this week and a different type of team that you're defending.

bowling defense difficult green hang hat seems studied tendencies type year
We've studied the Bowling Green defense of a year ago, and what they did and their tendencies and their patterns. And we've also studied the Clemson defense as to what they did, what he (Lovett) seems to hang his hat on, and that type of thing. So it's been a little more of a difficult preparation for us.

They all recruit hard, they play solid football, they all have a good plan. It's not just someone trying to out-formation you, they know what it's all about. I think the coaching in this league is very strong.
best decision father gave maybe quite support
Quite frankly, I thought the best thing for him would be to come back. But that is their decision. We gave them the facts. He and his father had to make the decision and they did. So I have to support it. Quite frankly, maybe selfishly, I wanted to see him come back.

Brandon gives us someone with speed who likes the challenge and wants the ball in his hands. He has been a playmaker for us ever since we've had him.

The thing that I've seen in watching him ... is they just keep adding to the package. They have more and more and more things that you have to defend. They really create a lot of problems. That's why they'll move the ball on everyone.
