came drive execute good line offensive page pressure sustain together
We weren't on the same page all the time. That's where some of their pressure came from. Overall, the offensive line didn't play well today. We need to execute and sustain for 60 minutes, not just put together a good drive at the end of the game.
coach lets pressure
In years past, there was more ... pressure to perform. Coach has been real laid-back. He lets us just go out there and make plays.
coach emphasis laid lets pressure
If there's been any change, it's been that we are now more aggressive. To me in years past, it wasn't always like that. There was more of an emphasis and pressure to perform. Now, Coach has been real laid back and lets us go out there and play and make plays.
ball fight fly high intensity level players stands until whistle
The one thing that stands out is that they fly around to the ball. They have a real high level of intensity in their players on defense. Until the whistle is blown, they fight and get to the ball carrier. They never give up.

anyone brothers eyes father found kept kid mistakes oldest path raising telling wrong
I went down the wrong path a lot of times, ... But if my brothers found out, they'd come after me. It was those two who kept their eyes on me. My oldest brother really was like a father to me. He was a kid when he was raising me, so, really, he didn't have anyone telling him what to do. He didn't want me to make the same mistakes he made.
blew physical
It didn't look like they were more physical than us at all. They blew up a lot of plays. They were a lot quicker, and they penetrated a lot more than we probably assessed going into the game.

I ended up going there. That was my best recruiting trip.

Given the type of games and the magnitude of the games, it's approaching (a great rivalry). If the games keep on depending on something like they have been, it's almost a given.
