defensive good offensive player
We signed, arguably, as good an offensive and defensive player as there was in New York.
bill exit guys offensive says schemes success successful teaching
If we had never done this before or never had success doing it, or had offensive schemes that hadn't been successful or the guys that are teaching had never done it ... it's not an issue, ... It's a little frustrating. When you don't have success, there's a lot of what Bill Parcells says ? there's a lot of exit doors.
areas closely looks next offensive strong western yearn
Next yearn there will be other areas we address. For instance, it looks like a strong year for offensive linemen in Western Pennsylvania. We'll look closely at that.

No. 1, he's learning a new offensive system. There is a growing period there that has to take place.
believe group history line major offensive spring strides together trying work
Someone told me that their offensive line is the most experienced group of offensive linemen that they've had in the history of the school. We've got a group that I believe has made major strides from the first day of spring practice, but it's a work in progress. We're still trying to put the thing together a little bit.
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.

We just had a big recruiting weekend and we have two more scheduled before signing day. We are right on track with where we need to be with all of the kids we have committed and the ones we are still trying to get.

We fell behind early, but we were able to force three turnovers and turn them all into touchdowns.
expected good win
We expected to win this game, ... but it was still good to put it on the record.
backs backward game good involved last offense played running score spring springs start three throws today
I've been involved in springs where, the last week, you're going backward -- you go out for the spring game and the quarterback throws three interceptions, the running backs fumble and the offense doesn't score a touchdown. Then you start making excuses. But we played well enough today and did enough good things.
defensive definitely game hope line playing run running struggled ways
The run game struggled but I hope that's because our defensive line is playing better. We have a ways to go running the ball. We definitely have to get a lot better at that.
ball catch good protects
Rashad, in all the scrimmages we had, was very consistent. He makes good reads. He can catch the ball. He protects the ball well.
ball catch couple dropped missed needed pressure protect throws
We had pressure on the passer, we missed some throws, we dropped a couple of throws and we really did not throw and catch the ball and protect like we needed to.
against heads knew ohio penn situations
We went into situations where we knew it was going to be against Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State. But we didn't put our heads down.
