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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
coaches cool demeanor everybody great inside life players sure
He really has a great demeanor about him. I can't tell you what's going on inside but to all the players and coaches he sure is a cool customer. Sometimes in life if that's how you appear, even if you're not, it makes everybody else comfortable.
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.
almost becomes bowl college compare event excitement genuine gift players three year
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.
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.
