claim decision injuries last position situation somebody taken unstable waiting wish
There's a decision to be made there. We wish we were in a situation where we could say, 'This is the group.' But with the injuries and what's taken place here the last two weeks, it's been an unstable position and we're waiting for somebody to put a claim on it.
coaches decisions hard ted
There's going to be hard, hard decisions for our coaches and Ted and his staff.
far guys happen
A lot of things have to happen as far as the injuries. We have to get those guys back.
against held last progress run
There was progress made last week. We wouldn't have held up against the run as well as we did against McGahee if we didn't play well inside.
game key randy
A big key to this game is eliminating the big play, and Randy can make the big play.
coaching good job top
It's just one of those things he's got to be on top of. We've got to do a good job of coaching him where he can get back on the field. He's good enough to play in this league, there's no doubt.

They have some good athletes. We've got to be as sharp as we were against Romulus.

good inside push
Sometimes when you want inside push we'll use Grady. He's been a good pass-rusher in his career.
bottom climb saying teams top year
Teams can climb back from the bottom to the top in a year, two years. We can be back there in a hurry. I'm not saying one year or two years, but it won't take long.
against bad hit patience philosophy start team totally types watch
Some people, their philosophy totally is penetrate. Offenses a lot of times get intimidated by those types of defenses and start throwing. But you watch penetrating defenses. When they have their bad games, it's against a team that has patience with (the run) and then they'll hit the big one.
attention moss randy special
Definitely, when Randy Moss is on the field, special attention has to be spent,
benefits friend good heard hidden invaluable mouth number people word
One of the hidden benefits is you get good word of mouth back on campus, ... That's invaluable because you can't get that with a brochure. I've had a number of people say, 'I'd never heard of CUNA, but my friend had an internship there, and I want to know more.'
