ability ask guy looking people saw throw
When I'm looking for a quarterback, the first thing I look for is the ability to throw the football. That's something that most people take as a given, but it's something you've got to have. From the film I saw on Matthew, he makes every throw you can ask a guy to make.
ability beauty fairly played run
Overall, it was fairly sloppily played offensively, but there was some beauty in our ability to run the ball.
ability above accurate becomes beyond bonus exciting good handle himself job plus pressure run weapon
With Shockley, he becomes a weapon himself with his ability to run above and beyond the basics, ... You've got to be an accurate passer, you've got to be a good decision-maker, you've got to be able to handle the pressure of the job and you've got to be a leader. He is all those things, plus he has the bonus of being able to run. It's exciting for us.
ability academic credit doubted fantastic football great handle heart people player program proven wants
A lot of people doubted his ability to handle the academic rigors at our school. He's proven he can do that and be a fantastic All-American football player and be a fantastic citizen. He's got a heart for young people. He wants to give back. He's just a great credit to this program and our university.
ability catch deep defense shown valuable
I don't think he's going to play defense anymore. He's going to be very valuable to us, and he has shown the ability to go deep and to catch the deep ball.
credit good happen players sweat
When we were down 28-0, I didn't know if anything good was going to happen tonight. But to the credit of our players we made it a battle. We made them sweat a little bit.
geared offense pass plays primary sure target tight toward
We're going to make sure he's the primary target a lot. We have more pass plays than I've ever had in our offense that are geared toward the tight end.
catch eight geared passes plays primary target throw toward
We're going to make him a primary target. Now, I don't know how many passes he's going to catch. We could make him the primary target 15 times a game, but we may only throw to him to eight times because he's covered, and he may only catch six. But we're going to have more pass plays than we've ever had geared toward him.
finish game hoping looks senior thankful win year
We're just very thankful that it looks like he'll be back for the Auburn game and be able to finish his senior year the way we were hoping he could, ... In the meantime, we've got to find a way to win without him.
handle jam mostly played press soft state today worry
We feel better about it today than we did going into the game. We still have to see how they do with tighter coverage. Boise State played mostly soft coverage, not much press at all so no one had to worry about getting off a jam or redirecting or that kind of thing. We'll see how they handle a little more pressure.
expecting
We're expecting to get him back this season. We just don't know when.
foot ourselves reason shooting whatever
We're just shooting ourselves in the foot again. Whatever the reason is for that, I don't know.
equally rolling
We're just rolling them and evaluating them. We're rotating them as equally as we can.
coach everybody fact hone proud spread
We're just proud of the fact that everybody is contributing. You want to spread it around enough so the other coach can't just hone in on one part of your game.
