against feeling games good halfway hard overall played pleased position team tough won
We're not in any position to make any proclamations because we're only halfway through. All we can say is we're pleased with where we're at, 5-3. It could be better; it could be worse. You are what you are and we're a 5-3 team halfway through. Probably the overall feeling is that we feel pretty good about ourselves. We've been in tough games and won them. We've played against good defenses and offenses, and for the most part we've done very well. But it's hard to say at this point.
few football fourth games last plays reach resolve shows three today weeks win
We scored 14 in the fourth quarter, and the last few weeks we haven't been able to do that. I think it just shows the resolve of this team. We had three very frustrating weeks -- games that were very much in our reach -- and today we made the plays we need to make to win the football game.
games good great guy purpose ready regular role time
Patrick is a great guy and a very good player. He's a good friend, and I think he's going to have a great year. The backup's role is to always be ready. That's the purpose of preseason, to get ready for the regular season, so I feel good about the games I had and the time I was in there.
best games great quite teams
That was quite a while ago. But it's a great memory, one of the best games I've ever been part of, one of the best teams I've ever been part of.
critical four games great guys hard last realize riding season tough worked year
Our season is riding on this game. The guys have worked real hard all year to get to this place. From where we were at 5-6, it's pretty remarkable. All of that being said and as great as these last four games have been, if we don't get this one, it would be tough to end the season that way. We have to realize how critical this is.
break calls felt games
These things even out, they really do, and sometimes you get a break. I felt like we got a break with Sellers that week, I really do. There's going to be games where you don't get the calls that you want.
against backs fourth games hopefully previous pull road three tough
Psychologically, at least for our confidence, that was huge. We got in that fourth quarter, and the previous three games we weren't able to pull it out. Our backs are still against the wall. It's going to be a tough road ahead. Hopefully this does something for us.
best case games obviously playoffs
You need your best games in the playoffs to keep going. That obviously was not the case today.
allow came
We wouldn't allow anything that came before the team.
bunch focused giggles guys listen puts time
We're not just a bunch of giggles out there. We work, but there is a time for a little levity, and I think it puts guys at ease. Some guys are so focused they don't listen to you anyway.
difficult expect football good great group guys hope last next since stepping stone
We've come a long way since last year. Hopefully, this will be a stepping stone for this football team. I think we've got great talent, I think we've got guys with great character, all the things you want. I hope we can keep this group intact. It's difficult to do nowadays. But if we can, I expect some good things next year.
ball game last passing ran
We were one-dimensional last year. We ran the ball very well, I thought, but our passing game was lacking. When you can have that balance, you're more efficient.
ball turn win
Turnovers killed us. You're just not going to win if you turn the ball over.
far run throw
You have to throw it out there about as far as you can because he is going to run and get it.
