arm catch controlled exception game good knew last passing pleased run running sudden
I was pleased with our defense. I knew they had some big-play capability. They'll run at you and run at you and all the sudden they catch you asleep. We pretty much controlled their running game and their quarterback has a good arm and he's tough, but if you take him out of the equation, they're not so explosive. With the exception of those last two drives, I don't think they had too many passing yards.
avoid battle bit caliber capable driven expecting experience hanging happened home last people talking team trying work year
As much as we've been trying to avoid talking about last year, there's still been a little bit of that hanging on. This was an eye-opening experience for all of them. We're not the same caliber of team that we were last year. This team's capable of that, but we've got to work for it. We're going to have to go toe-to-toe with people and battle it out. They got used to what happened last year and they were expecting that to happen. This team has got to make things happen. I think that's something that was driven home tonight.
beating came focus last losses purpose sole sticking waiting year
They've been waiting all year for this. Two losses to St. Mary's last year were sticking in their craw and they came out with the sole purpose of beating us. The whole focus of their year was this game.
came happened last learned past qualified races run test time worst
We came here to test some different things and it showed some promise. The worst thing that could have happened is that we put in the tune-up that qualified us No. 2 and No. 3 at the last two races in Brainerd (Minn.) and Memphis. We learned some things these past two days. Any time you run the car, you learn something.
almost deal direction floor focus friday happened headed kids knocked last longer night season start streak treated worried
I think that was kind of our focus this week. It's a whole new deal now. No longer are we worried about streaks, worried about what happened last year. Friday night was the start of a new quest. They want to start their own tradition, their own streak if possible. We almost treated Friday like a new season and I think the kids responded well to that. When you can come off the floor after being knocked down, that's big. I think we're headed back in the right direction again.
last people pick played reason team year
For some reason people think they can pick on him because he's on the shorter side, but he played on that team last year and he's pretty crafty. So often times, they're pretty disappointed with that strategy.
cadillac grand last led time
The last time they tore down a plant, it led to a new one, and that was the Cadillac (Lansing Grand River) plant.
impact matter whether
India's going to have an impact on a lot of things that matter to us, whether we like it or not.
came gave kids proud
I'm real proud of our kids. I can't complain, my kids gave me everything they had. We had our chances, but we just came up short.
effort game helps needed nice pressure quite sole somebody step strategy tremendous
It's something we've needed. It's nice when you have someone to take that pressure off when a team's sole strategy is to take things away from Megan. That helps quite a bit. If there was a game we needed somebody to step up, it was that one and it was a tremendous effort on Julie's part.
ahead content light
The content is light years ahead of what we had before.
bounce game heart team upset
I'm upset because I'm a competitor. I let my team down. I let myself down. But that's the way this game is. I know in my heart I'll bounce back.
backs ball beat came closed hitting might openings played playing quick running
They came off the ball a lot quicker. They came at us a lot harder. Even when we had openings on offense, the running backs weren't hitting them quick enough and they closed them down, ... We might have to revamp some things, get back to playing fundamental football. That's where Glidden-Ralston beat us. They played better fundamental football.
deserves tonight
Tonight we just got beat. Neville deserves credit. They got after us and we made too many mistakes.
