I don't question the ability of either of our kickers, but we still have some work to do in that area.

When you look at their scores by quarters, their fourth-quarter performance is really something. That tells you that they are going to play right to the end.

We don't always get everyone we recruit, and we don't recruit everyone. I would say we took in over one thousand DVD's, videos and CD-ROMs of players.
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.
We need to get some cohesion in our units.

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

I think that's the thing. As coaches, we have to do a great job of being innovative and yet focusing on the things that really matter in football. That will be our challenge with this group in the spring.

That was too many carries this early in the season. He was getting tired in the second half. We've got to be smarter about how we do that this week.
