errors hopefully intent mistake playing sure team turn weeks
The intent of the first two weeks was to make sure that we could make a mistake here or there and hopefully come out with a win. If you make those errors (against Iowa), you're playing a team that will take those and turn them into scores.
looking package
I'm looking for the intangibles . . . the things you don't see on the chalkboard. I know where we're at, (but) we'll solidify the package over the summer.
balances best eric offense runs throws
The best thing about Eric is he balances up our offense. He throws it to everyone. He runs the offense the way it should be run.
defense fast hard playing rush seemed win
It's been hard for me because I still believe, if you're going to win the big games, you have to rush the football. They scored so fast tonight, it seemed like we were playing defense all the time.
calm composed eric
Eric is so calm and composed as a quarterback,
guys later pan players showing sooner start time
It will be interesting how they pan out. But the guys we have are the guys we have. They'd better start showing up here sooner or later because it is their time now, and they are junior-type players for us.

They chose to stay in this community and stay at the University of Northern Iowa, which is obviously a great thing for us,

It's the same way on defense. They know how we want them to come to camp. There aren't as many questions, and there are no gray areas. We can just line up and try to make our football team better.
defense fast playing seemed
They scored so fast tonight, it seemed like we were playing defense all night.
created last somebody trying year
Doing as well as we did last year has created another problem, and that's trying to get somebody to come play us in the Dome.
decided difference good position rise throughout
There's no front-runner for that position right now. To me, there's some good things that they've all done throughout camp, and I think the difference in who will rise to the second-team quarterback will be decided over the summer.
belongs helps intelligence intelligence-and-intellectuals knows plays ryan
Ryan makes plays because of his intelligence He knows where he belongs ... knows his assignments which helps him play faster.
five guys highly prospects seven three
I'd say we have seven guys who are candidates, five who are prospects and three who are highly touted.
fall game great group inches season time
It's disappointing, of course, but at the same time we've had a great season with a great group of players. It's a game of inches, and in this one we didn't have the inches fall in our direction.
