area average becomes control defense game guarantee haunt help improve protect running spring understand
I think we all understand that a running game allows you to control the game. When we were able to run the football, that allows you to protect your defense and it allows you to do a lot of things that help you to win. We were very, very average running the football. And I think that always comes back to haunt you. I can guarantee you this spring that becomes an area that we must improve in, and we will.

I went into the training room after the game and Jon had tears in his eyes as I talked to him, ... I said, 'You must be in unbelievable pain.' He says, 'No, I was just thinking next Saturday is going to be the first Michigan football game I have missed in 30-some years.'
booth conference decisions ended guy instant nobody plays position reviewed season since taken ten whether
I will say this about replay, and I've taken this position since the season ended when we had a Big Ten conference call. If they're going to have instant replay, they've got to have a coach's challenge. Otherwise, you've got a guy in the booth nobody knows, and he makes decisions on whether plays should be reviewed or not, and we get no explanation.
balance both challenge course difficult finds good great opens run surrounded ten time yards
I think they have great balance, and any time you have great balance, it's a much more difficult challenge to defend. Pittman has had an outstanding year; over 1,100 yards in ten games. I think he's tough, has great vision, finds the hole, and of course he's surrounded by a lot of good people. When you're complimented and you have the balance to both run and throw, then it opens everything up.
front guys rule seen work
It is a significant injury. And I think it would take an extraordinary rehabilitation for him to come back, but I've seen guys do things that I never thought they could do. So I don't rule him out, but he's got a lot of work in front of him.
clear position
I think I made my position clear there,
ball confidence control experience extremely game great job lead learn throwing tight
I think he's throwing the ball extremely well and I think he has the confidence of being in a lot of big games, the experience that comes with being in tight ball games, being in two-minute situations, being ahead, being behind, all of the things that you need to learn to be able to learn to be able to control the game and lead your team. I think he's done a great job of that.
bright excellent expected goes guys played start victors
I think he played as well as we could have expected him to play. He made our Victors Club, which goes to those guys who have excellent performances, and to do that in his first start at the guard, I think he's a very bright guy.
great guy guys hurt vision
I think he's a guy that can make you miss. He's a guy that has great vision. He's one of those guys that can hurt you in a lot of different ways.
balls five missed open
I thought he missed some open receivers. I thought he had five balls dropped.
expensive experience future guys opportunity teams terms valuable
That experience sometimes comes at an expensive cost, but I think in terms of the future teams here at Michigan, it will be valuable to those guys that had the opportunity to play early.
ask dumb question
Why would you ask a dumb question like that?
jersey shoes trying wears whoever
Whoever wears that jersey has some big shoes to fill. And we're out there now trying to find him.
great hurt saw
I saw Gabe make one great play and I thought we did a lot of great things inside. It was on the perimeter where we got hurt more than anything else.
