afford anywhere certainly easy game gave ground help knew momentum near needed ourselves perfect stay
We certainly didn't help ourselves today. We knew we had to play a near perfect game to stay in the game with them and we weren't anywhere near what we needed to be. We gave them some easy scores, which we said we couldn't afford to do and we never were able to get anything going offensively on the ground or in the air. We never had any momentum in the game.
counting guys
We've got a lot of guys out there banged up, a lot of guys that we are counting heavily upon.
We need to get some cohesion in our units.

I've been coaching defense a long time and I still believe you have to be able to run the football to win and win consistently. I don't get as nervous about large passing numbers.
excited guys
I am like every coach, I am excited about the guys we got.

Louis was with us in the fall, kind of just went through the whole thing on his own. I think he's put himself or giving himself another chance, but he has, to this point, done everything we've asked him to do and will continue to do the same and ... is excited about his new opportunity.

Louis made a couple of good catches out there, although he did drop the first one we threw to him.

Obviously, there are some guys that can help us. How soon, I don't know.

We gave them some easy scores, which we said we couldn't afford to do and we never were able to get anything going offensively on the ground or in the air. We never had any momentum in the game.
blocked football opened options running success
We've blocked very well on offense. That success running the football has opened up so many other options for us.
