beforehand chance close game happened win
That was another close game we just couldn't win at the end. There were a lot of things that should have happened beforehand to give us a chance to win that ballgame, so it never does come down to one play.
closed complete game
I think if we could have closed it out (it would have been our most complete game of the season).
close devil game games good last sun
We feel good about our last game here at Sun Devil Stadium. It was a game that kind of went the way we like them to go. We've been in a lot of close games where, defensively we had a lot of effect.
center close field hope room
It's hard, though, because it's a big ballpark. It's like in the outfield, there's a lot of room between center field and the right fielder, and you just hope you can close it.
close easier lose strongly turn win
The more you lose close games, the easier it is to lose close games. We would like to turn that around. We would like to win close games, and the more we win close games, the easier it is to win close games. To do that, we had to make some changes. I feel very strongly about that.
expected fact gnawing
What's gnawing at me is the fact that I've not done as well as I expected to do.
clear difficulty felt few football guys league national sailing takes winner
We felt he still has what it takes to be a winner in the league and to be a leader. Difficulty is a part of the game. There are very few guys who have clear sailing in the National Football League.
scratch secret start success
The Secret of success is to start from scratch & keep scratching
upsets
Things have to go the way you want them to go, and I think that's probably what upsets me the most as a coach.
guy higher rated reinforce reminder sure
There will be times where you reinforce your thought process. A lot of times, you need a reminder because it could come up in the draft. It always does, you look and say, 'Are we sure this guy isn't better than that guy?' You say no, this is why this guy is rated higher than that guy.
eight guard guys
And we have about eight guys who can play guard or tackle.
ball behind both games hopefully nearly rectify running
Both games we got behind you are not running the ball nearly as much as you want to. Hopefully we can rectify that.
blow broken noses occur
Broken noses do occur in the game, unfortunately. He kind of got a blow right in between the facemask and his helmet. We'll know more about that once we get an idea from the doctors.
brooks came florida guy helped leader level state team win
You go down to Florida State and he is kind of the No. 1 guy on a team with a lot of big-time players. They fashioned him to be on the level of a Derrick Brooks when he came out of there and (he) was a big-time leader and helped them win a lot of games.
