learn plays tape valuable week
This week was very valuable in that he got 71 snaps. He got a lot of plays on tape and a lot of things he can learn from.
ball bit good learn lots maybe sure time watch
I thought Troy did some real good things today. We'll go back and watch the film and I'm sure there will be lots of things that we say we need to do a little bit better, and maybe a ball or two we'd like to take a little off of or maybe not make that throw. But I think every time you're out there making decisions, you learn a little bit more, and I thought Troy progressed.
anytime good learned nice ourselves played players saw step surprise veterans work younger
I think we learned some things about ourselves today. We saw some good things and we saw some things we need to work on. We didn't play a lot of our veterans because we know what they can do. It was nice to see some of our younger players step up and make plays. I thought we really played hard, but that didn't surprise me. Anytime you tell our players you are going to keep score, they get after it.
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.
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.
alive football help hurt learned listen longer time
I learned a long time ago - I've been around football longer than some of you have been alive - and there's two things that you don't listen to: flattery, which can't help you, and abuse, which can't hurt you. You have to look at the facts,
extremely great learns passionate step studies taking throughout toward watch
As you watch Troy throughout his career, every day he learns a little bit. He studies extremely hard. He's very passionate about being a great quarterback, and each day he's taking a step toward it.
ball closer gets great learns passionate step taking throughout watched
As you watched Troy throughout his career, every day in practice, he learns a little something and gets better, and he learns from every ball game. He's very passionate about being a great quarterback, and each day he's taking a step closer to it.
beat bit box coming extra hit kept leave people played run stop team vulnerable
When you have to play extra people in the box to stop his run it's going to leave you a bit vulnerable to the pass. I thought he played hard. He kept getting hit and beat up and kept coming back. And his team won.
against ahead fun game hard impact line mostly normal northern practices spring time
We always say the spring game is mostly fun because you've been working hard and now you get to compete. Any time you keep score, you'd like to win. It's probably a little more impact than a normal spring practice. But they (the players) all know we've got 29 practices ahead of us before we line up for real against Northern Illinois.
penn state
We always look at Penn State as good,
along chasing coming defensive gotten great line standing ted
There have been times I thought we could have gotten him the ball, but I'm standing there with a (video) clicker. I'm not standing back there with a defensive line chasing me. I think Ted is coming along and is going to be a great one.
capable next winning
We think we're capable of winning every game. It's disappointing. We didn't get this one done. And we have to get after it next week.
We had 617 yards, so there were some other important plays.
