apart ask both far football great played programs tradition twice
We played twice in the '30s and twice in the '90s and that's the end of it. We're not that far apart and with the great tradition of both football programs and both schools, what more could we ask for?
far game great handling job talking words
When you're talking about Troy, I don't think you ever think you use words like that. I mean, that's over, and I think he's done a great job of handling his adversity. This is game No. 12 of 2005 as far as I'm concerned.
exactly farthest playing reference week
It's the farthest thing from complicated right now because Troy's not playing this week and we're playing Miami. . . . I don't know exactly what complicated means, from this reference point, but there's no complication now in my mind.
bit excellent far followed good letting looking looks loose maybe spring thus
Antonio Pittman had an excellent spring and he's followed it up thus far with a very good fall. Erik Haw looks a little bit better right now than he did in the spring; maybe he's letting loose a little bit, maybe he was a little nervous. Maurice Wells is looking great.
far films guys last opposed positions watching
I think we got a lot accomplished. I think we know more about what the capabilities are of the guys we have and we know even more vividly how far we have to go at some positions as opposed to watching the films of last fall.
anytime close far keeping kids love
The kids competed, and anytime you tell them that you are keeping score, they love it. That was as close to game-like as you can get. Now we know more about the capabilities we have, and we know how far we have to go at some positions.
We just thought that that was the way to go right at that point,
ball consistent evolve fact felt good season spread starting ten
We felt going into the Big Ten season if we could evolve to the fact where we always had a 100-yard back, then we could probably spread the ball around enough to have a good offense. We're starting to get consistent with that.
advanced coming felt football further game guy maybe next nice normal obviously step
We felt coming in ... he was a guy that was really into the game of football and you could just tell as he got here that he was maybe further advanced than the normal guy. ... Now he's got to obviously take the next step as we go into the Big Ten, but I think he's done a nice job.
cared good
We feel very good about where he is and how he's being cared for and his attitude.
appreciate certainly men women
We certainly appreciate what those young men and women are doing for our country.
mind number percent perhaps week
We're going into this week with the thought in mind that Troy will be the quarterback and have the most significant number of reps in practice, perhaps 75 percent to 80 percent.
capable chance
I've said many, many times that if you have two quarterbacks capable of being champions, you have a chance to be a champion, ... I think we have that.
capable chance
I've said many, many times over the years that if you have two quarterbacks capable of being champions, you've got a chance to be a champion, and I think we have that.
