basic focus mentally offense safety tough
Their offense makes you tired, but when you're not mentally tough you don't focus and do the things you have to do to win. We had them on the run. On that third-down play, the safety has to get some depth, get off the hash (mark). That's basic football.
best charles gave opportunity run
We thought Charles gave us the best opportunity to run the ball, and that's what we went with.
bad both either football fortunate gone hearts played teams winner
Two teams played their hearts off. It's too bad there has to be a winner because both football teams played hard. We were fortunate because it could have gone either way.
advantage coverage downhill poor took
We had poor coverage and they took advantage of it. It was downhill from there.
football guy larry regular sets
Bostic is a guy we have to give more (opportunities), I can tell you that. He has to get in there on our four-wide sets on more of a regular basis. Larry Bostic is a football player, and he will get more touches.
football games heat
We were very young, but we're not young anymore. They've had some experience, they've started some football games and they've been in the heat of battle.
exposing playing program sensible takes teams three trying
I think we all have to be a little more sensible about what we're trying to do. There is something to be said about exposing your program to the nation, but playing three BCS teams a year? That takes its toll.
front home
I think that's good. Indiana, you get to play at home in front of your students. I think that's important.
beat football good
There aren't any secrets. We got beat by a good team. We got outplayed and everything. They are a good football team, real good football team.
beat bright came commitment freshman glad kept spot true
He was really recruited by the other staff. But he had made a commitment and this was where he really wanted to go to school. We're glad he kept to that commitment. He's been a bright spot in that class. He came in here as a true freshman and beat out a fifth-year senior.
atmosphere chance enjoy family gives kids night people students
We've got lights. We'd better use them. There's an atmosphere for the night games. It gives people a chance to do family things during the day. Hopefully, the students get cranked up for it. I know our kids enjoy it.
change game job talk
We didn't change anything. I'm not going to talk about it. It's not my job. It's about this game today.
confident field follow help score situation team
We'd like to score more touchdowns. But as a team we feel very confident when we get in (a field goal) situation that he's going to go out there and follow through and try to help his team win.
hung kids locker proud
I told the kids in the locker room, I was proud of the way they hung in there. They still believed.
