books short solve
There's no short cuts. There's no books you can read to solve this thing.
against backs chasing fast gets good ran realize runs time toughest yards
I think Shane is the toughest back we have, I didn't realize how tough he was. You can see that by the yards he gets after he gets hit. But I also like that he has had some runs where he outran people. He is one of those backs who wouldn't time real good if he ran against the clock, but he can run as fast as he has to when someone is chasing him.
confidence establish good last might obvious took week
We just completely took away any kind of confidence that we might have been able to establish on offense. It's so disappointing right now. It's obvious we're not a very good team. Last week it was the defense, and this week it was offensively.
impact kevin opportunity
I think Kevin Collier will have an opportunity to make an impact early.
bad came game guys hard played prepared win
We came up here and our guys wanted to win this game so bad and we played so hard. We prepared so hard during the week, and it just hurts. It really does.
bears chicago dolphins england miami pitt versus
We thought we'd see some New England Patriots in their offense, ... but it was still Pitt versus Notre Dame, not the Miami Dolphins or the Chicago Bears versus the New England Patriots.
coaches either good last means sustain turned
What you did last week, good or bad, means nothing ... You're either a 10 or a one. There's no in-between. The coaches that can sustain and find a way to get things turned around are the ones (that are successful).
adversity deal good guys handle hit job teams
From a fundamental standpoint, particularly on defense, I didn't do a good enough job of getting the guys prepared. We hit adversity. We did not deal with adversity the way championship teams deal with adversity. We didn't handle it well.
final opener season
From the season opener to the final game, we will play a very competitive and entertaining schedule.
benefit care football front guys high last level older perform position strides talking year
For us to make some strides as a football team, that position is critical. I don't care what level you're talking about, those guys up front have to perform -- and perform at a high level. We were inexperienced last year. That's scary. Now we're a year older and that will benefit us this year.
ball care game next quick
I don't care where or who we are playing, the next ball game can't get here quick enough,
accomplish anyone believe coaching college effective efficient good help looking ourselves staff ways
I believe we have as good a coaching staff as anyone in college football. But we are always looking for ways to make ourselves more efficient and effective and these adjustments help us accomplish that.
concerned depth unit
I am really not as concerned about our depth there as I am with getting our first unit all on the same page. Our depth is good.
I wouldn't even go there now because it would be unfair.
