We know what Chad Walker can do. We want to give some more playing time to the others, to see what they can do.
hope questions spring time
I would hope that by the time the spring is over, we'll have a lot of questions answered.
catch effective establish harder plays running spent time trying work
As we spent time trying to play catch up, it was even harder trying to establish the run. We still had some plays that we thought we could be effective in running and we were disappointed that they didn't work better.
ball quick scouting shoot
The only thing I know about Coronado is what I read on the scouting reports. From what I read or heard, they're real quick and shoot the ball very well.
based fair hoped knows maybe scoring sure system
We said going in that we hoped the scoring system would make for a competitive day. It did that. ... Maybe it's a fair system, who knows what's for sure fair and what isn't. ... But, based on the score, I would say it's a pretty fair system.
coming good high knew routes runs school truth worked
We knew he had good speed, but coming out of high school we didn't know how good he would be. The truth of it is, he runs good routes already. He's worked his way into the lineup.

We've been playing good defense as of late. We're holding teams to single digit scoring during periods.

We lost two starting linebackers and (Miller) has an impressive rŽsumŽ'. He earned a lot of accolades from his high school and junior college days. It was not a difficult decision for us that we should recruit him and, thankfully, he's here now and off to a good start.
ball blocked defense flying great job offensive pleased ran side staying
I would have to say I was more pleased with the defense today. They did a great job of not staying blocked very long, of flying around and making plays. On the offensive side of things, we ran the ball very well in long yardage situations.
action against defend effective either meant obviously running
When they were effective with running the ball, it meant that they could be effective with the play action pass. We obviously didn't defend very well against either the run or the pass.
good people score
We have people who can score and it was good to see everyone score (Friday).

There are some players that have a quiet confidence in what they can do. I believe Alex has that confidence. ... He believes in himself. He knows he has paid the price to properly prepare for the opportunity.

I was hoping this scoring system would make for a competitive day. Based on (Saturday's) score, I'd say it's a pretty fair system.
