certainly challenge continue decisions defensive environment face field football good great guys hope saturday team time tough
This is a tough defensive football team that he's going to face in a tough environment, and it's a great challenge for him and a great challenge for the guys that will be on the field at the same time with him, and we certainly hope that he can continue to be efficient, make good decisions and so forth, but that's what Saturday is for -- to find that out,
assuming depends future guy largely playing saturday
I would think that if I'm a guy going out and playing on Saturday that I'm assuming my future playing depends largely on what I do.
mean saturday
Really, those first 10 (games) don't mean much and they know that, ... It's what you do up there on Saturday that makes the difference.
care course focus games happen hope legacies legacy life majority performance saturday shaped television
I think legacies are shaped everyday, ... Shaped in your film preparation, shaped in how you take care of everything that is your responsibility, and then of course every practice, and then of course it's magnified in the games because the majority of the people, that's what they see in your life -- what you do on Saturday and what you do on television and so forth. I hope that his focus is on day-to-day preparation and his performance play-to-play, and we'll let those legacy discussions happen long after he's gone.

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,
