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.
behind fit future less number people perceive saying scheme stars trying value worry
I'm not saying we're not trying to get the big names, but we worry less about the name-recognition value or the number of stars behind a name. We look at films, and we look at people that can fit into what we're doing. These guys, offensively and defensively, will fit into the scheme of what we perceive we need to do in the future to be successful.
perfect simply
Awesome. Simply awesome. I don't know if they are a perfect team, but they come close.
carries coming forefront performers seniors weight
There are a lot of seniors and, as I've said before, those seniors are coming to the forefront because they are also our performers and our contributors. Their voice, their word, carries more weight because they are also doing it on the field.
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.
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.
