adverse difficult extremely good guys handling hard job played season until
Our guys played hard until the end again. They did a good job of handling a lot of adverse situations. It's been an extremely difficult season for all of us.
ball empty excellent execution game knew last leaves lose phases played reason talented team three time turned
I think any time you lose a game like today, it leaves you with an empty feeling. We played a talented team and there is a reason why that team was 15-1 last year. We knew going in that it was going to take excellent execution on our part in all three phases of our team. Unfortunately we did not get that, we turned the ball over early.
coming gotten handled losses needed played proud row stronger team three
I'm proud of the way our team played today. We are coming off of three heartbreaking last-second losses in a row and we needed this win. We've gotten better and we have become stronger because we've handled the disappointment of those losses the right way.
came execution match played
I'm very discouraged about the way we played tonight. We came in with the right intentions, but our execution didn't match up with our intentions.
basically played
I'm very disappointed in the way we played tonight. The thing I was most disappointed in was basically the fundamentals of our team.
best defense defensive games last liked played pressure today
The thing I liked about our defense today is that we were able to get pressure on the quarterback. Our defense has improved. In the last two games we've played our best defensive games.
gotten guys job
We've got a lot of young guys that have gotten on the job training.
ability mind point question special teams time
There is no question in my mind that we have more playmaking ability in our special teams than we've had at any point in time we've been here.
decided help improve joe move needed offensive promoted turn
We decided that we needed to make a move to improve our offense. We promoted Joe to offensive coordinator because we feel that he will be able to help us turn this around.
case hope plan respond
Our plan is to have him do a little more in practice. Hopefully, he'll respond the way we hope he'll respond, and in that case he'll be the starter.
football good responsibility strides three win
Our responsibility was to win football games, and we made good strides the first three seasons, but we didn't get it done this year. I'm disappointed that things had to end this way.
deal effort felt focused game last playoff plays teams watch
I think that a big part of this game is how you deal with distractions. I've always felt that when you watch teams in the last game of the season, especially if they are out of the playoff race, it comes down to the most focused team and who plays with the most effort comes out on top. It's a challenge.
awful efficient game hard negative offensive sloppy
I think there's an awful lot for us to learn. We were not sharp. We were too sloppy at times with the turnovers and penalties. It's hard to have an efficient offensive game if you have that many negative plays.
example excellent great improved player production works
I think he's done an excellent job. He's just a great example of a young player that works hard, has improved and the production has showed up on the field.
