academic across athletic bit board class help looking solid strength though
I think the strength of this class is its versatility. It has a little bit of everything: character, solid academic credentials and athletic ability. We went looking for help across the board at every position, and we feel as though we accomplished that goal.
justin outside though wish
Justin was very efficient, even though he had the one play that we all wish he had back. Outside of that play I thought he was very efficient.
came great malcolm mature opportunity presented ready stepped
Malcolm is a very mature player. He came to us ready to play. When the opportunity presented itself, he stepped in and did a great job.
evaluate hard open ourselves seven somehow
We need seven more (wins). Of course, you need a little reinforcement. That's human. We're going to keep working hard and somehow try to evaluate ourselves in an open week.
data decision games practice pretended reminded spring year
We had data of a year ago, spring practice, the preseason practice and the first two games ... now we have to make a decision. I've never pretended that every decision I make is right ... I've been reminded of that.
bobby book football good heard knows meeting player sneak staff tight yesterday
We can sneak Bobby in there. He's a good tight end. He's quick, he's physical. He knows how to block. He's smart. I heard someone say yesterday in a staff meeting that if he wanted to, he would know the play book in a half-hour. That's just the kind of football player he is.
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,
complete dynamic loves
He's a dynamic young man. He loves to compete. He's working to become a complete quarterback.
based both contribute excited felt time turns
He's a competitor, he was excited out there and he wanted to make up for time missed. We felt that based on preparation and what we're doing, both (quarterbacks) could contribute to a win. As it turns out, when we put the film on, that very well could have happened. But it didn't.
bit good hoped learn lots sure time watch
Troy did some realy good things, ... We'll go back and watch the film. I'm sure there will be lots of things that we need to do a little bit better. But I think every time you're out there making decisions, you learn a little bit more. Troy progressed and that's what we hoped for.
change
I don't think we're going to change who we are and what we would like to be,
biggest command couple games learn playing plays relaxing seen sitting snaps tape task totally valuable wait wants weeks
I don't think I've seen Troy yet totally in command and relaxed. He really wants to do well and couldn't wait to get in and play after sitting out a couple games there when we were playing two weeks ago. This week I thought was very, very valuable in that he got 71 snaps and that he got a lot of plays on tape and a lot of things he can learn from. I just think it's just relaxing and being in command with the whole situation. To me, that's the biggest task that he has to tackle.
last touches
I don't know that it will be much more than he did -- I don't know how many touches he had in the last game. So it probably won't be more than that.
expect football role
I wouldn't expect him to have a big role in this football game.
