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.
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.
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.
challenge clear difficult embrace evaluate excellent excited exposure greatest matt playing program strength trying whether
His greatest strength is that he's smart, ... The most difficult part about trying to evaluate quarterbacks is determining whether or not they'll be able to embrace the pressure. Matt comes from an excellent background. He's been in a high-school program that had more exposure than any program in the country. He made it very clear he was excited about the challenge of playing in a program like this.
We're just not where we need to be,
We have no excuses, ... We never make excuses. But we've had some injuries.
affiliated coached coaching extremely people promoted
The other thing is that they promoted from within. So there are a lot of people who have been affiliated with this program, who have coached here and are coaching here, who are extremely capable. So we'll see what happens.
We're still a long way from being where we need to be.
We are all disappointed with that. But I'm not disappointed in our players.
chad credit embraced gets giving great handled helping job players praise pressure terry
Our players embraced him and Chad gets most of the credit for that because of the way he handled the pressure of the job and the praise he got for doing it. But (quarterbacks coach) Scot Loeffler did a great job of helping him get better every day and (offensive coordinator) Terry Malone did a great job of giving him things he could handle, not overloading him.
chance gave good win
On the touchdown, he made a very good run. He gave us a chance to win in the end.
ball biggest execute problem red zone
Our biggest problem has been, offensively, getting the ball in the end zone. We've had ample opportunities in the red zone that would have impacted all those games, and we have just not been able to execute the things we need to do.
