After the first week he matured big time. More than just physical things, the mental part of the game and the leadership he provides in the huddle has improved dramatically.
believe bit breeds care confidence felt goes level main mindset self-esteem success team time tried trust
Any time a team goes 1-10, their confidence and self-esteem is low, ... You really have to get that back up and believe in one another. That was the main thing. We just tried to take care of that in-house and get our mindset a little bit better to where they felt like they had a trust level that they could play through anything. Then a little bit of success breeds more success and goes from there.
draw
That's not the way you draw it on the board.
physical receiver surprised time
This is the first time he has been healthy. But I'm not surprised how he has played. He is a big, physical receiver who is productive.

Scott did a real solid job. He knows how to work hard and he was prepared. He's not the kind of guy who sleeps all week in practice.

We'll see how practice goes this week, and make a decision later in the week. They'll both get (practice time) equally. ... Maybe Steve will have a few more reps this week as we get closer.
certain fine line outside pads pop
At certain times, he's got to put his pads down and get us one or two yards. Not everything can pop outside for a touchdown. That's a fine line though, when you have a back that's special.
events mark
Absolutely. It's one of those events you can mark off the checklist.
game physical played poor
They played more physical than we did, ... a poor game plan.

There were a lot of plays to be made and we didn't make them.

They really know what they're doing with the option. There're a lot of things that are unorthodox with the option, and they don't just dabble in it; they know what they're doing.
holes potential skill spring
There's a lot of potential there. We have some skill and we have some holes to fill. The spring will be really important to us.

It was a tremendous boost for us to see what kind of player he really was. He just keeps getting better every week it seems like.
brought dive effort
They've brought it to a new level, the way they dive for balls, the effort they give.
