against game happens win
Every game is its own game. We need to win this game. It happens to be against Connecticut.
football kids preach proud winning
I don't think about the 13 years, or the three-game winning streak. I think about one play at a time, and that's what I preach to our football team. I'm proud of our kids because they just continuously fought.
hard judge position skill wind
It was a hard day to judge any skill position with the wind and the rain.
class help next program recruit success winners
I think this class is really going to help this program take the next step. We wanted to recruit the 'State of Rutgers' and we feel we had success with that. There are a lot of winners in this class. This is a very well balanced, well-rounded class.
bowl goal history means since spring win won year
HISTORY' means the goal this year was to go make history and win a bowl game. Rutgers has never won a bowl game. So we'll try to make history. That's been (the goal) since spring ball.
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.
team winning games
We may still have as many questions after the game as we did before the game. But that's OK. Good teams answer their questions as they go, but they do it with wins. We didn't get it done last week - we found a way to get it done this week.
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.
