admit against although boston coach college efficient game iowa looking obviously offense played point position state team themselves took win wire
They don't put themselves in a position to give up big plays, although I think Coach Ross would be the first to admit that they're probably not as efficient on offense as he would like at this point in the season.

Obviously, they feel like if they're going to win a game it has to be against Central.

battle field fight notions onto opportunity super time trying
This time of year, you go onto the field and know that you can go and fight for a championship. We don't have any preconceived notions out there. We're just trying to get to the playoffs. Every year, if you go out there and battle and play hard, you have an opportunity to go to the Super Bowl.

critical knew last
It's critical for these young quarterbacks to get a feel for the game. Last year, we didn't have our quarterbacks live because we knew what we had in Kent Smith. This year, we need to find out what we have at that position.
