consistency consistent football goal needs offensive stick team whatever
I think consistency is always the measuring stick to see if you're going to get good. Our goal is to become a consistent offensive football team that does its part and whatever needs to be done to win.

I saw him (Monday). Moving over to Dodd Hall is a good sign. He?s making progress and taking the next step in his road back.

ahead areas caught class group move opportunity speed spread strength system
What I like about this group is that they all feel they can come in and make an impact. They know they've got to get caught up in the system and move ahead with their strength and speed and knowledge. But this class is spread so evenly in all areas that they all feel they will have that opportunity to come in and compete.
complete consistent defense domination good mistakes offensive order pleased pleases saw total
What you saw out there was total domination by the defense. After that first play, our defense was in complete control. Obviously, that pleases me. I am not as pleased with our offensive showing. We need to become much more consistent in order to be a good team. We made too many mistakes out there,

We recruited him as hard as we could.

Yeah, it makes you uncomfortable because we're not 35 points better. It's still going to be about what we do.
building focusing hard january outside people season talk work
We really work hard before the season and during the season ... at focusing on what's going on this second. I think there's a lot more people outside of our building that talk about that (the BCS), what's going to go on in January and whatever.
allowed behind count ears good job pin
We got behind the count and it allowed them to pin their ears back. They did a good job with that.

That wouldn't have been my first choice. But I can't have it back.
