ball beginning early good hand hard judge leaves mike ran ray threw
Once that ball leaves the hand of anybody, it's hard to judge it. But early on, when we were going with the wind, I thought Mike threw some good balls. I did see Ray at the beginning of the game, and he ran the ball well.
impact player productive putting wish
I'm not putting him in Elvis' class. But that's the kind of impact we think he can make. I think he's going to be a very productive player at that position. I just wish I would've done it sooner.
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.
answered emotional game happy last loss questions supposed sure win
I'm happy we rebounded from a very emotional loss last week. I'm happy that we could go out and win a game we were supposed to. Having said that, I'm not sure we answered any questions after the game that we had before the game.
completed continue emotional feeling football game games great happy offense pleased point rebound strength supposed won
I'm happy that we were able to rebound from a very emotional loss. We went out and won a game that we were supposed to win. It's a great feeling at this point in the program. Offensively, I am pleased that we have completed two games without a turnover. Our offense is the strength of our football team. And we need to keep slugging away, and continue to get better and better.

I've done it before with better talent, given up 400 yards. Maybe it's the coordinator.

It was a hard day to judge any skill position with the wind and the rain.

It will be a true test right off the bat.

The twins will get a lot of work. Jason will play, and Devin may play.

Everything to our players is new, unique, and exciting. When you've been to a bowl every year of your college career, by bowl three or four, you're like, 'OK, that's better than that bowl.' It becomes almost compare and contrast. Right now with us it's like every gift they receive, every event they're scheduled to go to, you see a genuine excitement on their face.

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.
