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 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.

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.

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.

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.
