effort fight football found good liked lost offensive standpoint talented took
We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense. I liked the way we played, from a standpoint of effort and aggressiveness. I thought we were very physical. I thought we took the fight to Notre Dame. They're a very talented offensive football team. (But) there's nothing good about losing. Nothing.
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.
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.
defense football good
I think if you take one play out of the football game, our defense did a very good job,
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.
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.
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.
apparent coaches days good great guys large next number recruit spread starts state states year
I think it starts - we always start in the state of Michigan. And we did not recruit a large number of guys from this state this year. It already is apparent that next year will be a very good year in this state. We start here, but I think our coaches did a great job. I was in 16 states in 15 days in January, and so we were spread out, and yet I think we've got an outstanding class.
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.
chance gave good win
On the touchdown, he made a very good run. He gave us a chance to win in the end.
good job sure zone
Henne was in the end zone. I'm sure they'll say it wasn't. He was in the end zone and I think they just did not do a good job in the booth, because it's the kind of play that should have been reviewed.
advantage football good liked mistakes took turn
We took advantage of the opportunities to get ahead, and what I liked is we didn't slop around and play with a lot of mistakes and we didn't turn the football over. There were a lot of good things there.
few good knocked liked pressured
But I thought we did some good things. No. 1, I thought we really pressured the quarterback and knocked him down a few times. I liked that.
decent executing felt good job
They just did a good job of executing a good play. It was a good call. We felt like we were in a decent defense.
