gift given period played quite time
There was a period of time after we had given the gift of 10 points, probably 12 and a half-, 13-minute period of time, where we probably played as well as we've played for quite some time.
coached doubt game looking mark marshall ohio ourselves played run silly state tape
There's no doubt there will be things that will be different from when we played them two years ago. We can run ourselves silly looking at Ohio State tape (when Mark Snyder coached there), this year's Marshall and looking at our game with them.
against best corner double played quarter team worst year
It was the worst quarter of the year for us. But that was the best team we've played. I think a lot of it had to do with them, not my coaching. We played well enough to still be around. We made a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes, like dribbling into the corner against a double team.
game played press sideline spectators
The whole game is played out of the press box, when you get right to it. Spectators on the sideline don't get to see very much.
defense game kicking minutes particular played point positive side together
The positive side is that we put together about 12 minutes of play where our offense, defense and kicking game played probably as well as we could play at this particular point of the season. That was only 12 or so minutes, though.
define difficult improvement
It's so difficult to assess. We've made some improvement, but how much we'll define on Saturday.
best colorado game losing special texas university
It's not about losing at Nebraska, or the Colorado game or the Texas A&M game; it's not about those things. ... It's what is best for this university that has been very special to me and what is best for my family.
abreast taking
I'm making myself available. We communicate back and forth. I'm abreast of everything taking place.
concerned fact florida found last pleased self shows three ways week yards
I'm pleased we won. That shows character. ... I'm more concerned with the fact that we found ways to self destruct. It's the same as was last week (against Florida International), three turnovers and 90 yards in penalties.
advantage bad ballgame dignity happened presented sure thinking
I'm not thinking about dignity right now, but what happened and what we need to do to make sure it doesn't happen again, ... As bad as it was, we did have opportunities in the ballgame to make a difference. We didn't take advantage of the opportunities that presented themselves.
board intent settled takes thomas until wait
It was my intent for him to be here, and Thomas was on board with that. But because this hasn't been settled yet legally, we'll wait until that takes place. His not being here is not his doing at this time. It's mine.
certainly concern fact issue maybe
That's certainly a concern for us, and maybe as big as any. The fact that we only have two sacks in two ballgames probably addresses that issue as much as any other stat that's out there.
assignment candidates four hard qualify work
It will be very competitive. All four candidates are doing well. Now to qualify that, we don't have a Darren Sproles. But they're all doing well. They're assignment sound, they work hard and they have capabilities.
distorting job nice product sync
The turnovers were more a product of our spacing. We got out of sync and (Romeo) did a nice job of pressing us and distorting our spacing.
