awhile football game heck involved means saturday ton
It's been awhile that we were involved in a game like this. Not that it means a heck of a lot, because at the end of Saturday there's still a ton of football to play.
attitude chopping direction entire game momentum points swung team time wood
There were points in the game where the momentum could have swung in the other direction. It was the first time the entire team had a fighting, chopping wood attitude the entire game.
goes last mike secret sure threw
It's no secret Mike threw 10 interceptions last year. We have to find a way to make sure that goes away.
beyond fact happen hold naive onto people running start true week
It's only week five. We'd be negligent if we didn't start getting more people ready, because we're running out of people. I'm not naive to the fact that when you play true freshmen, hold onto your hat, there's things that are going to happen that are beyond explanation.
adjust game heck prepare run team
They're a team we really don't know a heck of a lot about so we just need to prepare for everything and adjust on the run as the game evolves.
change confidence definitely last playing season till
They're playing with a different confidence level. You can definitely see a change from last season till now.
ball both field guy help periods stronger
They're both doing things at different periods that show you that they can be the guy to help us in that situation. Mike's got a little stronger arm, can get the ball down the field a little better and Ryan's experienced.
clark filled gets great job overlooked pressure spring sure
That's something that gets overlooked by a lot of people. Clark did a great job when he filled in, but he hasn't done it in a while. We'll need to make sure we put a lot of pressure on him this spring and get him ready.
against best defense efficient game good guys maintain mean passing possession push ready running
We're going to do our best to maintain possession of the football. It doesn't mean just running the ball, but being efficient in our passing game and play a little keep away. That is part of our plan. But when push comes to shove, we need to play defense against a very good offense, and our guys are ready to do that.
ability bowl brian deal great path played shelf time tremendous until
Ultimately, I didn't know which path he would take. I thought Brian did it in a great way. He played a tremendous bowl game, and he had the ability to kind of put it on the shelf until it was time to deal with it.
ball chance football four good played screwing turn
When you turn the ball over four times, you don't have a chance to win. We played pretty good football when we weren't screwing it up.
area critical island jersey south state success york
When we got here, we declared an area we wanted to recruit. That was the state of Rutgers - the tri-state area and South Florida. We really didn't have much success in New York and Long Island at first. The whole Metropolitan area is critical to our success. We're doing everything we can to make New York and New Jersey one.
against excited front gets guard guy
I know he's excited to go play in front of the home-town fans. I think one of the things he has to guard against is if he gets too excited. But Brian's kind of a low-key guy who will go out and do well I'm sure.
feeling funny guy likes ray
I just have a funny feeling that Ray is the kind of guy who likes the big lights.
