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.
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.
ball course energy iowa love run sideline
I like his energy level. During the course of that Iowa game, the more he ran, the more he wanted it. He would run by the sideline and say, 'Get me the ball again.' You love to see that.
guys special
I like having guys that you have to take a special look at,
attacked proud
I'm real proud of the way he's developed. He's attacked being a quarterback.
against bit discuss downs likes line playing points start talk ten yards
Everyone likes to discuss what we haven't done at quarterback, but we could talk a little bit all the way down the line about where we need to get a lot better, ... We need to get a lot better fast, because when you start playing against the Big Ten defenses, yards and first downs and points are even more difficult.
last since thinking
Everyone, ... has been thinking about it since the end of last season.
beauty change holmes maybe open time within
The beauty of it is any time someone does something within their (defensive) package, then that's going to open up other things. Maybe if they change what they do on Teddy's side, then (receiver) Anthony Gonzalez has a chance, (receiver) Santonio Holmes or whoever.
along football goal goes wanting
That goes right along with our goal of wanting to be a 3.00 football team.
ears gave opportunity outside pinned run teddy
They just pinned their ears back and they were not going to let us outside the edges. They were not going to let Teddy run reverses or those kind of things, which gave us an opportunity to do some other things.
chasing dame fast running
Notre Dame is a fast defense, (but) when they're chasing one way, and Teddy's running the other, they've got a problem.
difference justin reference
I'm not making the reference that Justin did poorly, or that there was a big difference in their grades,
anxious game love states
I'm not going to lie. We're anxious to be a part of a matchup like that. It's two states that love the game of football.
