capable felt oregon played state
Oregon State played well. We played poorly. I felt we were capable of more.
buy early halfway sports whether
Whether we're back, it's way too early to tell. It's halfway through the season. I don't buy that yet.
cameron james job utilize ways
We have to find ways to utilize James Finley and find ways to do a better job of integrating Cameron Colvin into the offense.
allow coach finish fired hang hat next
The one thing they could tell me they could hang their hat on was, they had never fired a coach. They had always let him finish out his contract. It's very interesting that the next coach they hired, they didn't allow that to happen.
good line offensive
We'll be as good as our offensive line allows us to be.
direction moving offense option per scoring spread wish yards
I wish we were scoring more points, but we are averaging more yards per game. We are moving in a direction away from our traditional offense into more of a spread option look.
position specific time
I think that we've probably, more than any other time than I've been here, addressed specific position needs.
defense win
I think in all honesty, defense is going to win this game. It's not going to be offense.
emphasis huge
It hasn't been a huge emphasis so far.
everybody last played quite situation week
I thought last week (at Houston) we should have played everybody that was there, but the situation wasn't quite right or they weren't quite ready.
felt football game giving importance people realized sure understood urgency
I think they realized it wasn't enough for them to want it, or to be giving everything they have. They wanted to be sure other people understood and felt the same sense of urgency and sense of importance about the game of football and about the team.
happened scheme worked
That wasn't by accident. That happened because that scheme worked for us.
changed fit guys knew last mobility recruit scheme taken vision year
Last year I changed our vision of what we were going to recruit in preparation of what I knew we were going to do. That's why we didn't take a quarterback last year. The guys that we could have taken would have have fit into this mobility scheme that we have. And these guys, they fit that.
couple felt impression kids oftentimes putting uniform win
I think it was a wakeup call. I've said for a couple of years, oftentimes I got the impression some kids that come here felt just by putting on the uniform we were going to win games.
