I must not have done a good enough job myself preventing our guys from reading the newspapers and magazines. We were thinking we were a little further along or a better football team than we showed.
blitz blocked chance good guys job level matter mystery newspapers reading ready stop third win
They blocked us, there's no mystery in that. I didn't do a good enough job of getting these guys ready ? they must have been reading the newspapers too much and that's my fault. We've got to get better ? if you can't stop the run, you've got no chance to win no matter the level and we've got to get that done. We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.

incorrect job might nice official putting replay skeptical stopping taking
I really like it. I was a little skeptical the way we were doing it here and putting everything on the replay official in the box. But they've done a nice job if they thought that something might be incorrect of stopping it and taking a look.
against good job line maybe offensive past protecting seen south throw time
I thought for the most part our offensive line did a good job of protecting the passer against South Florida. There was time to throw the ball, maybe more than what we had seen in past weeks. I really think we're making progress.
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.
believe biggest bounce honest
I'm Tyler's biggest supporter. He's our guy. I believe in him and he'll bounce back this week, but we've got to be honest about things,

adjustment amount biggest bit defense difference finding happy kids knowledge limited medium might opposed players practice time week

It doesn't make any difference how much knowledge I might have about the defense ... it comes down to what our players can practice and comprehend. Finding that happy medium has been a little bit different.
amount freshmen time win
They know we're being fair. We're doing everything we can to win every game, but there's no set amount of time that these freshmen are going to play.
address adversity dame deal fine football hit obviously played team teams week
Notre Dame was obviously a fine football team and we must have miscalculated them and that's my responsibility. We hit adversity and did not deal with it the way championship teams deal with adversity, so we'll address that. The way we played in week 1 will not be the way we play in week 11.
