athletic farmer grew opportunity owned pay side
My grandparents on my mother's side owned a farm, and I grew up on the farm. If it wasn't for an opportunity to get an athletic scholarship ... to pay for my education, to this very day, I would be a farmer up in Pennsylvania with my cousins.

ball change discussed hand jay missing morning pointed shame towards
We are going to make a change at quarterback. We're going to hand the ball to Marcus Stone. There's something missing (with the offense), and it's a shame that it's always pointed towards the quarterback. We're just going to take a look at this. We discussed it this morning with Jay and Marcus.
dare decision except man nobody
I tell it like it is. Nobody can make that decision except the man himself. He's the one that's got to make it, and don't look back. Don't you dare look back.

I was just totally disappointed with the way we played defensively.

I saw it about a month ago, I laughed. You know me, you know I like to have fun, I like to enjoy life. If you're going to laugh at other people, you have to be able to laugh at yourself.

gave hold nobody overtime team
Penalties, penalties, penalties. But you know what, nobody on that team ever gave up. Nobody on that team ever quit. Nobody thought we wouldn't hold them and go into overtime or do something big in the end zone.
best felt
Jay's been so good. He really has. But he didn't have his best game. I felt we had to make a change.

I think it adds excitement to all of us. All of us are dreamers. None of us have lost a game yet.
deserve felt good injuries themselves
I felt comfortable that they could go out there and do really good things themselves because they're all playmakers, and I think they deserve that. It had nothing to do with injuries at that point. I just wanted to get them in there.
chat game talked
We talked about we'll play the game and chat after that. I know nothing.
