He's going to be a great player, but right now I think there's a lot being thrown at him and his mind is tying up his feet a little bit,
attitude football great heck nasty nice tougher
He's been good, ... He's got everything it takes. He's tougher than heck and he's nasty on the football field. He's a nice person off the field, but to be a great player, you've got to have that nasty attitude and he's got it.
chance guys works
He's been around, and he works hard. He just hasn't been able to get on the field. ? You always want to give those guys a chance if you can.
He's doing the things you want to see a quarterback do.

Ore had the numbers in that last game, both of them have done very well in practice. I've been pleased with the way both of those guys have performed.

Ore had some good runs. He put the ball on the ground one time, but I thought he showed some quickness through the hole. And I thought George Bell showed some good ability, too.

He has a great knack of getting on to the next play, ... As soon as it's over, he's disappointed. Now, he's ready to try and win the football game for us.
blocking both helps intelligence next played playing positions year zone
He's played a lot at both positions. He played a year at guard. He played a year at center. Now, he's going back and forth. It's not like one of those positions is a new position for him. And I think his intelligence helps him. Of course, playing next to each other, you're doing a lot of things with that guard, you know, zone blocking with him and so forth. I think that makes it a little easier.
bad doubt football games good nebraska rid win
He didn't win all of those games by being a bad coach, ... Nebraska got rid of a good football coach, there's no doubt about it.
