challenge coming
This is going to be a new challenge coming up. Going on the road, it's a different deal.
add against opportunity program prove team tradition type whenever
The most important thing is having the opportunity to prove what type of team we are against the best. We are a program with a lot of tradition and pride. Whenever you add that in as a motivator, your expectations are high.
deserved happened people players wait
Some things happened at the end, but I'll have to wait and see on tape. I thought our players deserved better. I don't know how many people were on the field. I don't know how that happened.
changes sit type watch
So there are going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher.
ability college easy football four spread stop
Defensively we have to find a way to keep them out of the end zone. College football has changed. Everyone has the ability to spread you out and it's not easy to stop them for four downs.
assignment
Defensively, it's become an assignment game. It's had an unbelievable impact.
changes chris front guy played sit start type watch
Defensively, I'm very, very disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the front seven. I don't think we played well at all up there. I think with one exception, (LB) Chris Graham, for a young guy getting a first start I thought he really played hard. He made a lot of plays. We're just not where we need to be. We need to play harder. We need to play more physical. That is our intent. There's going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher.
agreeable dealing distract less listen might people success wise
Dealing with success is more agreeable than dealing with losing, ... but it's no less difficult. Now we have to deal with all these people patting us on the back. But it's not wise to listen to that because it might distract you from what you need to get done.
expect football game mistakes red win work
Offensively, we just made too many mistakes in the red zone. You can't get the football down there and give it away like we did and expect to win a game like this. So we've got a lot of work to do there.
excuse points
Thirty-seven points should have been enough to win. There are no excuses.
advantage guys offensive spread
They spread the football. They have a very physical, senior-dominated offensive line. They'll take advantage of the guys who can do something with the football.
chad good great last
I thought Chad did some great things in there. That last touchdown, it was a great drive. He scrambled for significant yardage and on the touchdown; he did some very good things.
best game played since
LaMarr Woodley played the best game since he's been at Michigan. I said they've improved.
good half question second
I thought the second half we did some very good things. The turnovers were really monumental, there's no question about that.
