football found lost
We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense.
certainly hart looking mike played somebody week
We should have played Grady, and we're going to play somebody else this week because, simply, it's too much to play Mike Hart every down like we did in that game. Looking back on it, that's certainly something I would have done different.
athlete field finest
Vince Young is the finest athlete I've ever been on the field with.
anybody competition conference respect success understand
We all understand the competitiveness of that conference and their success in competition with the Big Ten. I don't know anybody out there, as a coach, who doesn't have respect for the Mid-American Conference.
losing
There is nothing that can make you feel better after losing this game.
deserve drive great happened players
We had a great drive and some things happened there at the end. I have to see it on film. I think our players deserve better.
defense hard key nebraska test worked
We've worked hard on it, but the key to the Nebraska defense is up-front four. That'll be a real test for us.
excuses football injury team unlucky
We don't make any excuses and never will, but we've been a very unlucky football team from an injury standpoint.
booth coaches decisions guy instant nobody whether
If they're going to have instant replay, they should have to let coaches challenge. Otherwise, you have a guy in the booth that nobody knows. He makes decisions on whether a play should be reviewed, and we get no explanation, and you use timeouts that you don't get back.
certainly feeling game life remember
I don't ever in my life remember going into any game feeling like I was an underdog. I certainly have never experienced that at Michigan.
hope played rest
I don't know why we played like we did ... But I just hope we don't play like that the rest of the season.
interested
I'd be more interested in what he wanted to do.
changes compares goal held honestly national striving thinking
I can honestly say I have never held that mind-set, ... I mean, if you do that here, 'Get me to eight,' you're in trouble. What I'm always striving for ... I tell the players: Once, I was part of a national championship team. That really changes the way you look at things. Once you do it, there's nothing else, there's no goal out there that compares to that one. That's what I'm thinking about: How can we do this?
guys happy love
I am just happy to be around guys that love to play and never say die.
