happened mean whatever
Marcus just went over and just apologized to Elvis. I didn't see (the play) exactly, but Marcus said he didn't really mean to do that. Whatever happened is really unfortunate.
asked far good great hard successful summer
Marcus is a good person. He made some questionable judgments, but as far as working hard to get back and making this a successful ending, he's done everything that we've asked and has had a great summer of preparation and a great preseason of preparation.
improvement week
Marcus has been consistently getting better. Every week you see a little improvement.
good looked ohio played
I tell you, Ohio looked pretty good to me. I thought they looked good and they played hard.
ball great lost running
I think he's lost a little weight, and, boy, he's running the ball great right now.
ability experience
I think he's got the ability to do it. Now does he have the experience to do it? We'll see.
I think he's going to play, ... The more I read (about it), I don't think there's a question. He's going to play.
ability michael people pride sitting takes throwing
I think he takes pride in sitting in there and throwing the football, ... But people that have the ability that he has ? Michael and Marcus ? they've got to take off when they feel the need to take off. That's what he does.
against backs bit depends exactly football great next nice people perform saying team trash wall week win
You kind of find out a lot about people when your backs are against the wall and people aren't saying nice things about you, people trash you a bit on TV, ... To come back and perform like we did against a great football team is a great win for the program. Exactly how big depends on what we do next week and the week after that.
bit bring good great open
I think Glennon does have a little bit of an edge. It's an open thing and we want to see some good competition. I think all our quarterbacks bring something to the table. It should be a great competition.
chasing couple defense fast
I think Marcus showed he's going to be dangerous. That was a fast defense chasing him, and a couple of times he outran some fast guys.
catch dead deep good hit josh morgan others stuff threw
I thought he threw the deep pretty good, ... Even the first one to Josh Morgan that he didn't catch was a good throw. The others he hit on the dead run. And I thought Cory did some good stuff in there.
maybe practice quite
Maybe one practice day wasn't quite what we wanted,
hoping
I'm hoping we can get to that point.
