game national playing priceless
Playing in the national championship game is priceless in many ways.
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.
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.
defend felt football people playing power today
We just felt we had to become a power football team, and if we were going to make that move, today was the day to do it. Getting this on film and playing like this on the field, people are going to have to defend the run.
defense fast playing seemed
They scored so fast tonight, it seemed like we were playing defense all night.
attitude outside playing veterans youthful
He's what we need for those outside linebackers. He's got a youthful group. Sometimes, if you don't have veterans you can make up for it by playing with a little more attitude and enthusiasm.
great score
We're going to have to play great defense. They could score anytime.

The reality is, we played a very good football team, fell behind, and then came back to our game plan. We know what kind of football team we have now.

Overall, our offense, I thought there was definitely something there that we could make special.

Law is more of a power running back, while Corey has more speed.
against ball defense good moved offense
Our offense moved the ball against a very good defense,
goal line phases three win
Our goal was to win the line of scrimmage in all three phases of the game, and I think we did that.
changed course game pleased
I was pleased with the game. Initially, we were going to let the quarterbacks go live and see what they could do. Had we done that, I think it would have changed the course of the game.
enthusiasm great guys looking needed passion teachers three
We were looking for great teachers - teachers with great enthusiasm who have a passion to coach. Then, we needed some wisdom, as well. I think we got all of those things with the combination of the three guys we hired.
