against attention burden early great guy guys holmes involved last people played plays point receiver recognize saw standpoint
We think Santonio Holmes is a great player, ... Early last year, he was about the only guy that was making plays for us. The people we played against saw that and put more attention on him. Some of our young guys then got a little more involved and that eased the burden off Santonio a little bit. If we can get to the point where we can recognize that he is being singled, we need to go to Santonio Holmes, because from a receiver standpoint he's top-notch.
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,
saw
I didn't really see it at all. All I saw was there was a big pileup.
defense guys hard mills robinson saw struggled time year
They were never gone. You saw what their defense did a year ago. Offensively, I thought they struggled a year ago because they had (Zack) Mills part of the time and they had Robinson part of the time. They were different guys and it was hard to get a real flow.

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.
good hall moving next progress road saw step taking
I saw him (Monday). Moving over to Dodd Hall is a good sign. He?s making progress and taking the next step in his road back.
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.
