across country football games half lost move second seemed won
Things went our way in the first half, and it seemed we could do no wrong. In the second half it was tougher. But that's the way football games are won and lost across the country every week. In the end it was 37-29 Rutgers, and we move on.
biggest bowl complete football foundation guys laid move program
This is not a one-year stint; they laid the foundation for our football program to move forward. My biggest disappointment is for those guys because I wanted them to complete the experience, to be a bowl champion, not just a bowl participant. It's something that hasn't been done around here for 27 years. We'll be back.
backs beauty bringing competition everybody good head keeps knows running
Competition always keeps your head on straight. He knows Dimitri (Linton) is a good running back. He knows we're bringing in one of the better running backs in the country. That's the beauty of competition, right? It keeps everybody pressing on.
athletic saying
And that's not even saying anything yet about his athletic ability.
stem tide zone
Sometimes you make a play like that interception in the end zone and you stem the tide and find a way to win. We interfered.
grown ryan trying
Ryan has grown as quarterback in that he really understands what defenses are trying to do to us and he understands his own game.
belief chance consummate felt gives hard helped mike overall player ryan strong successful team tough
Ryan has been a consummate team player and really helped Mike and helped the offense. We just felt overall that (Teel) gives us a better chance to be a successful offense. It was a tough, tough decision. And if it was that hard and we still did it, there's a strong a strong belief in what Mike Teel can do.
competition head keeps man mature ray talk
Ray is a mature young man. You can talk to him like a man and he listens. And there's competition. Competition always keeps everyone's head on straight.
cool demeanor everybody great job life mike player sure
One thing that makes Mike the player that he is, he has a great demeanor about him. He sure is a cool customer. Sometimes in life if that's the way you appear, even if you're not, it makes everybody else comfortable and allows you to do your job better. I think he's a great competitor.
build continue football great humbled leadership pride program serve shown source state support university
I am humbled and appreciative of the support shown by the leadership of Rutgers University. We will continue to build Rutgers into a championship-caliber football program that will serve as a source of great pride for our university and the state of New Jersey.
certainly fun gets higher involved juices personally stakes success
One thing about having success is that the stakes get higher each and every game. That's fun to be involved with here at Rutgers again. It's been a while for me personally and it certainly gets the juices flowing.
forward seeing
I look forward to seeing that many more times to come.
goal plays running sure
We need to make sure they get all the right reps, not just reps. Our goal is to make sure we're running the right plays for our quarterbacks to get better and see what they need to see.
backs best conference flip game good healthy line pass perhaps plans prepare running side
We don't know what Connecticut plans to do with him offensively. The flip side is their line is healthy and they have some of the best running backs in the conference and perhaps in the country. I think they're going to do what they do in the run game because they're very good at it. What they end up doing in the pass game, that's probably yet to be seen. We need to prepare for everything.
