bunch continue good grind hard kids maybe players single work
You have to grind every single day and work very hard to play here. Maybe it's not for everybody. . . . I can't tell you why they did what they did. I just know we've got a bunch of kids here who are very good players and they are going to continue to work hard.
beat bottom happy
At the end of the day, am I happy with the way we played? Absolutely. Bottom line, we beat 'em.

One of those guys will step up and do a nice job in there. But the maturity and being in a game situation definitely goes to Eric.
definite felt rhythm second
I felt like we got in a rhythm there in the second half. I think it was a definite improvement.
eric good grasp guys lined people safety
When you play safety in this defense, you have to know a lot about where people fit, what's going on and the whole big picture. Eric has a very good grasp of the picture, of our whole defense. He's going to get the guys lined up in the right spots.
expecting games whoever
ACC, Pac-10, whoever it is, we go into the games expecting to win.
awesome bit kept lights performance playing quarter third
We started playing a little bit soft, playing some zone. Probably shouldn't have done it. Probably should have just kept on going and kept on grinding. But the third quarter was lights out. That was an awesome performance out of the kids, and we got turnovers.
positions
There isn't much difference. The positions are very interchangeable.
defensive good great initial kelly natural quickness
Kelly has everything we look for in a defensive lineman. He has great natural use of hands, he has very good initial quickness and very good feet.
football gives good kids opportunity players window
It gives kids more opportunity to come in and compete. It's a window of opportunity. We've got good football players here and we'll be just fine.
behind good jump kids opportunity players ready window
It's not a big deal. We've got good players behind him and we're ready to go. That's life. It's a window of opportunity for those two kids and they need to jump on it and go get it.
accepted kids knack leader
He's an unbelievable playmaker. He's just one of those kids who has a knack to make plays. Now he has to be a leader off the field, too, for our defense, and I think he's accepted that role.
