effort great improved reflection surprise typical
It was great to see a reflection of how much we've improved with this young team. This effort was typical of our team. It doesn't surprise me.
game involved
They will go to the meetings, be involved with the game plan.
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.
brought dive effort
They've brought it to a new level, the way they dive for balls, the effort they give.
game physical played poor
They played more physical than we did, ... a poor game plan.
plays
There were a lot of plays to be made and we didn't make them.
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.
game improved leadership matured mental physical provides week
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.
attention grown people playing question raises since
There's no question that since (the Bears) have grown up with (the Trojans), ... There's a lot of familiarity with the people involved. That raises the attention level, because you're playing with your peers.
aggressive ball covers gets gifted guy lays physical runs
He's not a guy who lays back and gets juked by people. He's very aggressive going to the ball and he runs through people. He's a physical guy who can run; he covers the field. He's a pretty gifted guy.
against great job nice played
(He) played very well and did a nice job for us out there. The kickoffs were great and all of the punts were right back there against the end zone.
eight gained last maturity mental months six
The maturity, not only physical, but mental and emotional, he gained over the last six or eight months has been awesome.
great
This is a great day, without a doubt.
