chance college felt front growing move opportunity
When you have an opportunity to go in front of the media, there's always a chance to make mistakes. It's part of the growing process, part of the college experience. He felt really badly. It's just one of those things that happen, and you move on.
chance gave good win
On the touchdown, he made a very good run. He gave us a chance to win in the end.
bad chance dad family felt great moved
He felt a pop. It's really too bad because he's done such a great job. His family had moved to Texas, and his dad was going to get a chance to see him play, and he didn't play.
approach challenges chance character fight good great less people question thinking together whether work
Whether things are going great or poorly, you have challenges. Challenges when things are going well are a lot more fun, but no less difficult. In our case, there's no question it's not as much fun. But if you have good people and good character like we have, you approach it thinking that together you can get through it. And if you have a good work ethic, you have a chance to fight your way out of it.
chance great guy higher mean performed word
He's so competitive, he's so tough, and he's so smart. Once he got a chance to play, he performed well, and he had a great career. I don't like the word 'overachiever.' I called him that once, and he said, 'What do you mean by that?' I said, 'What I mean is, I can't give a guy a higher compliment.' Sometimes when you get called that, it's like you don't have any ability, you just play hard. He had ability.
win
This was an awfully important win for this team. We've been awfully inconsistent.
changed control hard nobody ohio played playing pressure state tempo throw trouble
We thought if we get control of the game, Ohio State would have trouble playing from behind, but they played very well from behind. Nobody ever would have thought they would throw for that kind of yardage, but they changed the tempo of the game, they made it very hard for us to pressure the quarterback.
create great opportunity
With any change, there's great enthusiasm. It does create an opportunity for change, and new ideas, so I think it is going to be very good.
defense fourth last space
When you look at what he did in the fourth quarter, there was not a lot of space in that defense on the last drive.
good plays poor progress throws
Being a quarterback is a process. And I think he made a lot of progress. I think he made some very good throws out there today, then he had some very poor plays that he'd like to have back.
everybody resolute season turn
Everybody is disappointed. And yet everybody is resolute to try to do the things we need to do to turn the season around.
anybody football goals good happened lost program stage teams unless
Every program has goals and you have to decide, do you still have the same goals, because when you look around at what's happened in the first two weeks, a lot of very good football teams have lost. I don't think at this stage anybody is out of anything unless you've lost two games.
best consistent country great teams year
Year in and year out, on a consistent basis, the best teams in the country always have great defenses.
alone best challenge defensive fine lead nation played tells
We've played some very, very fine defensive fronts, and I think this is the best we've played. They lead the nation in sacks. I think that alone tells you the challenge we have.
