ball close half hope louisville majority score
We're close to converting. That would've made the score pretty ugly. Louisville had the ball for the majority of the first half but couldn't score. I hope we get the same opportunities.

The protection is better, but I think the ball is also being released quicker, because he knows more where to go with the ball, ... We have to get the ball in the hands of the good players, and I see that type of progress from Kyle.
ball catch defense defensive great opportunity pass ran today
The defense did dominate, and I think we have an opportunity to be an outstanding defensive team. We ran the ball a little better today than we have in the spring, but we didn't pass and catch the ball very well. That was the big thing today. Our defense had a great day today.

balls huge plays
Sometimes you don't get the catches because you don't get the opportunities. We've got to get more balls their way. There doesn't have to be any big, intricate, huge things downfield. Just get it in their hands. And once we get the ball in their hands, we've got to make some big plays with it.

difference game lift run weight
When you get to this level, as I've said before, you can only lift so much weight and you can only run so fast. How are you going to be a difference maker? How are you going to take your game up? And that's what Brandon's done.
gravitate players receptive special start
The players have been really receptive to the new coaches, and there's some special things they're being taught. Once they know they're going to get better, they start to gravitate to it.
