brought couple entire runs team
A couple of times he's made runs that brought our entire team to its feet.
backup entire maybe people starter
Dennis has been the starter the entire time, and he is the starter. We have just tended to play our backup more than other people are maybe comfortable with doing. I don't know that that's going to change.
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.
capable felt oregon played state
Oregon State played well. We played poorly. I felt we were capable of more.
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.
