believed coaches definitely door kick kids knocking next sell step turned
When you're recruiting, you sell everything you have and that definitely was a part of it. Our kids believed the coaches when we told them we are about to get it turned around. We're knocking on the door and our next step is that we need you to kick it down. A lot of kids want to be a part of that.
believe bigger crowds distract good handling job kids leads lines maybe outside past preach stadiums start stuff tried white
We've tried to preach to our kids that everything outside the white lines is not very important. They've done a good job of tuning all that stuff out, which leads me to believe that maybe we can start handling the noisier crowds and the bigger stadiums and the pageantry, where in the past we let that kind of stuff kind of distract us.
execute rest
It is just polishing (the rest of the week) at this point, we really haven't much. We just need to execute better and get everyone clicking.
break care core hurt kid taken
I think he's taken care of his core issues. A kid like him is so active, I don't think the break will hurt him.
athletic competition create good job men somewhere spot win
That will create some good competition at that spot and all those young men know if they don't win that job that they'll play somewhere else. All are athletic enough to play a lot of different spots.
consistent defense good hit move offense ran red sticks took
I thought the defense ran around pretty good, especially in the red zone. It took us a little while to get anything going offensively. I'd like to see us be a little more consistent in our offense and move the sticks a little bit. We did hit some big plays, which is good to see.
bowl sure
I think we can play spoilers. If we can't go to a bowl, let's make sure they don't get to go to a bowl either.
ask games good handle learn opponent prime quality riding stuff talked time tv
We have to learn to play in games like that, with a good quality opponent and a lot riding on it, good prime time TV and stuff like that. That's what they ask for and that's what we talked about all week. This is why you come, for a game like this, and you've got to handle that atmosphere.
enjoyed folks football since time
It's been a long time since our folks have enjoyed football success.
game played since
It's probably the most significant game that we have played since I've been here.
bit catching good guys run thin tomorrow worn
It was a good practice. The receivers are getting a little worn down; they run a lot in this new system, and we're a little thin at that spot. We'll probably get more of the big guys in tomorrow to give the receivers a little bit of a break. But we've put in two-thirds of the offense, and the guys are catching on pretty well.
deal few hours missing run takes week
It takes about 48 hours to run its course, so we'll probably have a few more missing (Thursday), too. But, better this week than next. It's just something you have to deal with.
continue four next three year
We have to continue next year to find three or four more.
drives needed seemed
There's probably two drives we'd like to have back. Other than that, when we needed a play, we seemed to come up with it.
