bit bruise sit
I got on him a little bit because he got a bruise on the forearm and he wanted to sit out. That's the difference. You have to have durability in the Big Ten.
bit iowa lied recruiting trying
I think Elijah was trying to show up a little bit for him, That's another thing you lied to me about in recruiting - you told me there were no tornadoes (in Iowa City).
ability bit body certain flip football good hips run
He's a big body that can run. I would like him to have a little bit more ability to flip his hips and run in certain situations. But I think he can really be a good football player.
bit couple discussion groin guys holding sit
Hodge and a couple other guys are kind of in a holding pattern. I'm going to sit down and have a discussion with Elijah. I think he's been a little bit hampered by the groin injury. Now, you're getting in the season, you've got to kind of concentrate on the guys you're going to play.
bit coach coaches establish few meeting notice sit stay sure trying watch
It was different. I was sure to notice when Coach Alvarez used to come and sit in on my meeting or when he was in my drills, so I was trying to be a little bit conscientious of that, especially the first two days, trying to let coaches establish how they go about their business. I was just trying to stay at a distance, look around and watch for the first few days.
bit couple days kids knew legs met opportunity practiced
It was something that if we practiced well the first couple days down here we knew this was going to be a day (off). We met a little bit but it was an opportunity to let the kids get their legs back.
adjustment bit ending football good hardest offensive people point rather themselves
Sometimes, for young players, the hardest adjustment they have to make is just being accountable for everything they do. They want to make the big play, they want to just get to the ending point rather than working themselves through it. You'll see that a little bit with our new offensive guys. They don't know how hard it is to be a good football player. People just think it happens. It's hard...and it's a process.
against certain execute pressure
What I want to do is put them in a pressure situation. And because we're going ones against the world, the ones should be able to execute and do certain things.
ball came certain couple days distance finished game iowa last number prepared travel traveled
We finished our last ball game with Iowa and were on an off-week and then we had to travel a significant distance to get to Hawaii. So we prepared for a certain number of days, let them have a couple days off, came back and traveled to Hawaii.
people stands
We're going to try to get as many people in the stands as possible. Make it a game-day environment.
balls changes game hands momentum putting
We were putting some balls on the ground. The picks, as many times as we get our hands on the ball, we can't put them on the ground. That changes the momentum of a game in a heartbeat.
coaches defensive moved shot
We wanted to see him. The defensive coaches thought he moved well enough and wanted to give him a shot there.
team
We will be a role-playing team at that position.
plays seen trying
Obviously, you've seen him make plays out there. He's going to make some for them (opponents), unfortunately. We're trying to get those out of his system.
