ball drives maturity move offense pass run throwing
We just need to move the ball, not necessarily run the ball. We've had seven-minute drives with Vince throwing it, so we know because of his maturity in the offense that we can move the ball with the run or the pass now.
quit relax stuff throwing worrying
Relax and be yourself and quit worrying about all the stuff around you. (Forget about) your throwing motion, who you look like or whatever.
both handle obviously progress throwing
They just both handle things well. Obviously each day we want to see some progress out of them, but they were throwing to the right place and I was really impressed.
arm both grasp great guys impressed job ready strength throwing
He (Snead) has been throwing already with the other guys. They have been very impressed with his arm strength. He and Colt should have a great grasp of what's going on in the spring. Our job is to get both these guys ready to play.
defense proud run stop
We weren't real proud of our run defense. We'll try to stop the run first (against Baylor). If you can't stop the run, you've got problems.
awful chance cost mistake national win
I've told them if you get in trouble, you probably won't play. What an awful thing for you to make a 15-second mistake that cost yourself a chance to play or win a national championship.
athletic performance seen
I've never seen an athletic performance from a quarterback like Vince Young did tonight.
bill emotional football hall kansas kids miss nobody school state
It was very emotional for me. Football will miss Bill Snyder. More than that, the kids of Kansas State will miss him. He'll be in the Hall of Fame. Nobody will ever do for a school in football, in my estimation, what he's done for Kansas State.
blocked dumb might people remember
It was very controversial when we did it. I remember people asking, 'Coach, how dumb are you? He might get hurt.' He blocked a punt on his first play.
planning
I've been planning this one for 33 years and now I really don't know what to say.
credit fight lose mad next ok saturday therefore understand until win worry
I used to really worry about it. I used to fight it, and it used to make me mad and now I understand sometimes when you win one, you get too much credit and therefore when you lose one, you get too much criticism. I understand we're probably OK until next Saturday ... and then it probably will be I just can't win any one of them again, but that's all right.
coach convince force meant selfish worst
The worst thing for a coach is to try to convince him to come back. After all he's meant to this university, how ungracious of us to be to force him to make a selfish decision.
gives hard hopefully kids last lost means opportunity stay weeks
(The win) gives us the opportunity to stay at (No. 2) and hopefully get better as a team. Last year, when we lost in October, we lost some of that and couldn't get back up. It by no means gives you a right to the end, and that's what our kids have to understand. It's a long, hard 11 weeks left.
backs coach defense defensive developing game involved key last moved plans played preparing role since spot successful
Duane started as our defensive backs coach and has become more and more involved with the defense each year. Since he moved into the co-coordinator spot last year, he has played a key role in developing game plans and preparing one of the most successful defenses in the country.
