good team win
We know we have to play well every Saturday. I feel like that we've got a team that's potentially good enough to win every Saturday, but we've got to play well to do that.
assure last maybe team won year
We're a better team at 0-1 than we were at 1-0 a year ago, ... I can assure you of that. This is one, in my opinion, maybe we shouldn't have lost. Maybe we won one last year we shouldn't have won. But that's football. That's the way things go sometimes.
good nearly protect special teams
Our special teams really let us down, and we didn't protect our quarterback nearly as well as we need to. Offensively, we did some good things.
extremely special teams
That was an extremely disappointing loss. Special teams really, really let us down tonight.
best chance team
Whichever team is able to make their quarterback better has the best chance of being successful.
added caught coming fell florida hard late league member normal punish teams
We have some say. Florida State, that's not a normal situation. That was added late in the process. Clemson fell as it fell with the 12th member of the league coming in. We and other teams were caught in a hard spot. It's not anything the league did to punish us.
football good south team
We're not going to be intimidated going into Clemson, South Carolina. We're going to take a good football team there and we're going to play well there.
again elite football great hate opportunity season taste teams three track
It's great to end the season with a win. But again, we've got new resolve. We hate to end the season with three losses, that taste in our mouth. It's an opportunity to come back and really get back on track and again be one of the elite football teams in the country. That's what we expect.
football missed team tells
Derrick hasn't missed anything. He's on time, he conscientious, he works. That tells me something. And it tells our football team something.
attacking defensive fun team
The thing I see different about this defensive team is they're having more fun doing what they do. They're having a lot of fun attacking and making plays.
along determination far good help speaks surprised team volumes wants
I'm really surprised at how far along he is. But his determination to get back, to help this team be good and get to where he wants to be really speaks volumes about Eric.
depends exactly football good help line offensive players saw team
That's exactly the way I saw it. He didn't play much. Football is such a team game. How the quarterback does depends on if players help out and make good receptions. And the offensive line has to help him out.
advantage build certainly challenge colorado coming glimpse good seize team time town tremendous week
We got a glimpse of what can happen, where we can be. And with a very good Colorado team coming to town with a week off, certainly we'll have a tremendous challenge there. But I think being at home, this is a time we've got to build on. We've got to take advantage of it. Seize the day.
difference effort huge team tremendous win
We didn't let Marcus get comfortable today. It was an outstanding team win for us, just a tremendous effort by our defense. That was a huge difference in the game.
