basically deep field goal pinned playing
We just couldn't get in sync, particularly offensively. We just couldn't get anything going. And they (Middletown) were basically playing from their own 40 to our goal line. We never really ever pinned them deep because we couldn't get any field position.
control deserved line
We couldn't control the line of scrimmage, they did. They deserved to win.
mistakes played
We played hard, but we had a lot of mistakes.
football game good hard played
We played hard but we didn't play a good football game tonight.
came credit effort great guys hang left offensive seven weeks
We can't hang our heads. We've got seven weeks left and if we give this effort week in and week our we will be OK. Our guys made a great effort tonight. I have to give credit to the offensive line. The came with an attitude.
frank gives healthy hits natural ready running wiggle
Frank gives us another dimension. He's a natural running back with some wiggle when he hits the hole. He's back and healthy and ready to go.
change decided defense guys
We really didn't change anything. Our guys decided to play better defense and decided to wrap.
broke defense team win worked
When one part of the 'D' worked well, the other part broke down. Our team defense didn't play well enough to win tonight.
plain run
It was plain and simple, we did not run the football.
excuses mental
We did have mental breakdowns. There are no excuses for that.
andy ball catch guys last line load maybe offensive pride ran square teams threat throw year
We're still a run-oriented team. We take pride in our offensive line. Even with a line that was 4/5th new last year we ran for 2,000 yards. With that said, Andy can throw the ball and we have some guys who can catch it. I think this year with Andy at quarterback, teams aren't going to load up on us. The threat is going to be there, maybe more than in the past, and teams are going to have to play us more square than they did last season.
certain coach emotion emotions good hard hungry match perhaps played previous season team tough year
They played hard and they played with a certain sense of emotion and perhaps at the be-ginning we didn't match it. They were hungry for that win. When you coach a team that didn't have a good season in the previous year and you're hungry for that win, sometimes that's tough to beat.
injury quick ran running supposed
They have a very quick quarterback and they have a running back who ran very well (in the Injury Fund). If we don't do the things we're supposed to do defensively, we can get burned.
belt carry foreign guys handful last played seniors teams year
As many seniors as we lost, we have a handful of guys that played a lot last year. Those guys are going to have to carry us. We may take some lumps because teams know us now, but we have a year under our belt so we know teams now, too. This isn't foreign anymore.
