continue guys recruit
We continue to recruit guys that are guys with character, and that is the most important thing to me.
gotten great guy peaks
When you have a guy with experience, he doesn't get rattled. He had great composure, and he's gotten away from the peaks and valleys.
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.
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.
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.
afford brought eric guy
We have to adjust, certainly. That's one guy we couldn't afford to lose. What Eric brought was athleticism and speed.
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.
allowed balance came focus guy incredible mature maturity sights
He's just a guy who came in and was a mature guy. He had his sights set on being the guy. And he has incredible balance and vision, but it was his maturity and focus that allowed him to do that.
best enjoyed far good guys hopefully looked produce stage
I interviewed one or two guys and then just looked at it and said at this stage in the program, I just didn't know if it was the best thing for us to go through a transitional thing. So far I've really enjoyed it, and hopefully it will produce good results.
snaps
We feel we have to get our quarterbacks as many snaps as we can in all the different things we're going to do.
coach hard pointing smart work year
I've never had a make-or-break year in my life. I'm going to coach football, it's what I do. This program, to me, everything is pointing in the right direction. So we're going to work as hard as we can and be as smart as we can.
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.
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.
