games good win
You don't win 20-plus games if you're not a good team.
ball half job needed quite ready
We did a better job of getting the ball down low. I thought the first half we weren't quite ready to play. We needed to be ready right from the get-go.
both fall good knew position time
Both of them were in a position where they knew more responsibilities would fall on them. But they put a lot of time and the effort. When you do that, good things will happen.
credit guys kept
One thing I give our guys credit for, they didn't give in. They kept battling.
believed both coach fortunate people played player stayed true worked
I was fortunate both as a player and a coach to have worked and played for people who stayed true to what they believed in.
game glad overtime second stronger time
I thought we got stronger as the game got longer. I'm glad we got to a second overtime and had more time to get stronger.
cusp matter staying
I think we're right there on the cusp (of being very good). It's just a matter of us staying with it. We need to keep doing the things we've been doing, and we need to do the little things to be successful.
guy line ton unless wants
Marcus is the guy I want to have on the line in that situation. And I think he wants to be on the line in that situation. I give him a ton of credit. Unless you've been in that situation, you don't know what it's all about.
character good great job rhythm
I thought we were out of character on offense. Calvin did a great job of disrupting our rhythm and we didn't have a good flow.
conference expect half needed offense played points stops team
For us to be a conference contender, we've got to be a better team defensively. You can't give up (35) points in the first half and expect to win. Our offense played well, but didn't get the stops when we needed to.
good perspective realize
He does keep things in perspective. When things get tough, I look at him and realize that we are doing good things.
focused good leading needed practices
We had two pretty good practices leading up to this game. We were pretty focused on what we needed to do.
ability both chance knew learning liked lived saw work
I liked what I saw from them right away. They were young players, and I knew that they had a lot of learning to do. But I saw their ability and their work ethic, and I knew they had a chance to be successful. They've both lived up to expectations.
certainly good played struggle sure
It was a struggle, but it was a good struggle. I'm not sure we played our ?A' game, but we certainly had our ?A' competitiveness.
